Christopher Hitchens is dying.(esophageal cancer)
He is an avowed atheist and will not pray
He will accept the prayers of others for his health and wellbeing
Monday is" Everybody Pray for Hitchens Day"
At 62,on chemotherapy,he will survive next Monday.
GREAT SPIRIT
Brave expositors seek evidence before theories
Myths and legends resurrect in our age
Worshiping water via Dr Suzuki
Trees via Sierra Club/seas via Greenpeace
People via Amnesty International
Earth via Earth Day.Spirits also transform
into grains(Ceres,Demeter),Holy Hills and Wells
Bones of saints and martyrs revered as relics
Perhaps the Great Spirits of whale and dolphin
may be spared by the god of Baal and Mammon
seen as spear and harpoon in the name of "science"
In this Casino Life,the Gods of Chance reward strategy
more than virtue,action rather than prayer and meditation
When this world is cleared of past faiths-will we still believe
that Spirit Rules /Before us-and after we are gone?
