“With all wisdom and insight he [God] has made known to us the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ,
as a plan for the fullness of time,
to gather up all things in him,
things in heaven and things on earth.”
- Ephesians 1:8-10 NRSV (emphasis mine)

"When do you think it will be easier to make friends?" he asked his daughter.
She took a breath and considered her reply,
"When we are no longer new.
That's when it will be better, at least." 
He looked at her with wonder,
for the child had somehow become a sage.
