Pray aloud
==========

 And I pray aloud for you
  (from "The Woods" by Daughter)

That's rare. Most people either don't pray
at all, or they don't pray for others, or
they do so silently (which is not much
more than having good thoughts about
someone). When you pray aloud even though
you are on your own, you mean it.

 I asked Saint Christopher
 To find your sister
  (from "The Woods" by Daughter)

Saint Anthony is the patron saint of lost
things and the people who look for them.
Saint Christopher is the patron saint of
travellers.

It's not about finding her to bring her
back. It's about finding her to look after
her, to make sure she doesn't get lost on
her travels -- even if it means that she
stays "lost" to those she left behind.

It's about letting someone go and wishing
them well despite their absence.
