The accepted salutation
of the day to a
mighty ruler
must have had
special meaning to
Daniel after a long
night spent with
the great beasts—
hungry,
whining, and snuffing
in frustration.
But, let us
remember, that
night was also
spent with angels
soothing both
man and beasts with
the consolations of a
mercy and of the
divine, preserving Love
which can deliver
from every fear,
fill every need, and
provide an angel
to companion
any occasion.
