Will, my friend, 'cry' is \emph{right there}. Who, though I cried...but alas, we come round once more to translations and translators.}. And \emph{thanks}? There is too little bound up in that word for us to hang our hats on. I've marked none of the Lord's Prayer as \emph{thanks}, despite the very nature of its praise.

The second, however, is that there are categories that is misses by virtue of the way it thinks about prayer. It comes at it so literally! How could it possibly hope to encompass the headiness of ritual? The comfort of mantras? The familiarity of well-worn words that linger with us through liturgy? It is a goal-oriented, Christian (indeed, largely Protestant and Evangelical) view of prayer.
