We do not see our emblems;
there is no longer any prophet,
and there is no one among us who knows how long.
How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?
Is the enemy to revile your name for ever?
Why do you hold back your hand;
why do you keep your hand in your bosom?
There is reassurance in symbols, in signs, and in ritual.
But our relationship with God does not depend on such.
God did not create us to be sheep, but as eagles.
Psalm 74
