Amen
“Amen” is how most of us end our prayers, the standard response to prayers in the synagogue and the church and the mosque. The word means “And so it is” or “Truly.” Well, that’s very nice, but what on earth does “it” mean? What is?”
“You’ve heard it said that when all else fails, follow instructions. So we breathe, try to slow down and pay attention, try to love and help God’s other children, and—hardest of all, at least to me—learn to love our depressing, hilarious, mostly decent selves. We get thirsty people water, read to the very young and old, and listen to the sad. We pick up litter and try to leave the world a slightly better place for our stay here. Those are the basic instructions, to which I can add only: Amen.”
