Well - we ARE in the biblical section called "Prophets"... what is uncanny, esp. now as I travel through Israel/Palestine this week is how much of this so called history still echoes, spiraling back in surprising ways, along with places named for these chapters and fables, actual memories and fragments of fantasy. More than anything it feels like a spiral - repeating again and again, hopefully with some learning on a slow curve of progress as the arc - perhaps - bends forwards? Maybe some better version of Samuel is indeed waiting in the wings.. :)
