My soul
melts away
for sorrow.
[Psalms 119:28]
***********************
"Hey, LORD?
Is DEPRESSION,
GENETIC?"

[SILENCE.]

"That's what,
DOCTORS,
have TOLD me!"

[CALM NOD.]
[GAZE AT THE SUN.]
"I know,
My child."

"WELL?"

[PATIENT VOICE.]
"Read My Word."

"What's THAT,
gotta do with IT?"

"Everything,
Mein kinder."

"Ya STILL haven't
TOLD me!"
(Squint up at ceiling.)
"Am I.....DOOMED?"
(Bite lower lip, in fear.)
"Cuz.....I got these
BAD GENES?"

"Read My Word."

"Y'ur just SKIRTING
the issue!"

[SMILE!]
[CHUCKLE!]
"I never skirt,
My precious."

(Shrug.)
"Yeah.....THAT'S true."
(Grimmace.)
"STILL....."

"Read."

(Nibble on a microwave-
chicken-tot.)
"Hey.....LORD?
Did ADAM ever get
DEPRESSED?
Didn't I really get my
GENES,
from HIM?"

[FIRM VOICE.]
"Yes.
And no,
Mein kinder."

"Yes.......
ADAM DID GET DEPRESSED?"

[PATIENT NOD.]
[CHUCKLE.]

"And.....NO...
I DIDN'T get my
GENES.....
from HIM?"

"No,
My child.
You got them,
from Me."
********************
My soul melts away
for sorrow;
strengthen me
according to
Thy word!
[Psalms 119:28]
