#1) Thank You for remembering single moms.
I was 1, & so was my mom.
#2) "Lord's Prayer".. Although I consider mySelf a Christian, I have strong pagan tendencies. I was once told I'm too "churchy for pagans, & too witchy for church". I'm ok with that.
Anyways, in my researchin years ago, I read an original translation of this prayer, from original Aramaic to Hebrew to English. It was amazing & BeautiFULL! Alot longer, very descriptive, & very little of it sounds like the common prayer we know. The original (as I remember) praised the glory of Nature, Earth & ALL planets & heavenly bodies, that ALL humans & living creatures are equal & related.
Mostly about Love, & compassion, & JOY.. NO fear.
It was beautiful, & I wept as I read it.

Wish I had a copy of it.
Thanks for sharing Your adventure! "Amennn"!
