The nurturing of a devoted parent, the kindness of a closest friend, and the loving heart of an often-misunderstood Father...all were the things Elijah, the greatest prophet of the Old Testament, found in his weakest moment when lying under a broom tree.

In doing so, we come to expect of ourselves an exhausting, relentless productivity.

We'd whisper sweetly to them as they lay there with us, "I love you - you don't hurt, like people do." Butterflies filled the garden. "Mema, look!" I'd shout. "They are coming to me!"
