    EPIGRAPH: You may in fact be wondering what I even mean when I use the word "prayer"... Let's say it is communication from one's heart to God. Or if that is too triggering or ludicrous a concept for you, to the Good, the force that is beyond our comprehension but that in our pain or supplication or relief we don't need to define or have proof of or any established contact with... Nothing could matter less than what we call this force... I called God Phil for a long time... Phil is a great name for God.

    EPIGRAPH: Barbara's face was set now, almost like a mask, like something the wind is blowing hard against, and she'd lost a lot of weight, so you could see the shape of her animal, and bones and branches and humanity. Yet she still had a smile that got you every time, not a flash of high-wattage white teeth, but the beauty of low-watt, the light that comes in through the bottom branches: sweet, peaceful, wry.
