		Young Fionn Mac Cumhail began to turn the salmon, but he was a dreamer and allowed his mind to wander.
		There was some of the oil of the salmon on his thumb, and as soon as he tasted the salmon oil, he received the wisdom, the gift of second sight, and the vocation of poet.
		Even though the two on the road to Emmaus tell the story of their sightlessness…even though John Wesley claims he didn’t want to go to the prayer meeting…even though the young Fionn didn’t appear to know what he was doing…I firmly believe we are always readying ourselves to be recipients of the grace of God.
