My Favorite Prayer

Note: Must be chanted around a fire for full effect.

His is the House of Pain.
His is the Hand that makes.
His is the Hand that wounds.
His is the Hand that heals.

His is the lightning flash,
His is the deep salt sea,
His are the stars in the sky.

-H.G.Wells

Alexis is obsessive about Wells. It's made her start using words like "incontinent" in conversations not having to do with urine. Evidently it's a Wells thing - like "You're having a second helping? How incontinent of you." Meaning out of control or something like that. Makes me giggle, then laugh, then incontinence is not out of the question.
