<p>“Of course, Dee. I have no doubts as to your faith.”</p>
|

<p>“But…?”</p>

<p>Borenson sighed, set the pencil down. “Your studies are fine. Better than fine, I’m told. Your teachers speak highly of your writing. That’s only half of the program, though. You came here for an masters of divinity, and the end goal of that program is ministry. Your skills in scripture and apologetics, in books, are admirable, but would make for an incomplete priest. We’ve talked before about you heading for a masters of theology instead, but you balked at that.”</p>

<p>The coyote canted his ears back, gritted his teeth, and masked his frustration as best he could. “With all due respect, Father, my concerns about a Th.M stand. Yes, I’m sure I’d be helping the world with research and writing, but I need something more immediate. I need to give direct help, and there’s just too much remove if all I’m doing is writing.”</p>

Yes, I’m sure I’d be helping the world with research and writing, but I need something more immediate. I need to help more directly, and there’s just too much…I don’t know, remove, I suppose, if all I’m doing is writing.”</p>

<p>There was a pause as Borenson seemed to manage some equal frustration before he spoke. “Mr. Kimana, an education such as this requires both flexibility and devotion. Both a Th.M and MDiv would require that. Now–” He held up his paws as if to forestall a rebuttal. “I am not accusing you of lacking in either department at least not to a level where I feel you are not a good degree candidate, but if the doubts in your head are strong enough that you feel you need to leave, I would only be doing your future vocation a disservice by trying to make you stay.”</p>

<p>Dee dropped his gaze once more. He spread his fingers, tracing with his eyes the subtle grain on the pads of his paws, the long-healed callouses. </p>
|

<p>This was a constant in Dee’s life, this sort of discussion. He would research and research and research, come to a conclusion, and when he’d state what he’d learned, the conversation would go sideways. Both he and his interlocutor would wind up frustrated and stressed with no visible reason why.</p>
