Introducing The Friends & Family & Deities Plan

(Two older ladies come in. One asks about our Tibetan Prayer Flags, which are quite popular. I’m new and listening in on my coworker’s explanation.)

Coworker: “Traditionally, it’s believed that as the wind blows, it carries your prayers into the universe.”

Lady #1: “Oh, that sounds just lovely. I like the idea of being connected to the universe. I once went to this workshop where I sent some things into the universe. It was very rewarding.”

Lady #2: *grumbles* “I don’t need no prayer flags. I have my own method of praying!”

Coworker: “We have this size, as well as a few mini ones. I have one hanging from a tree in my yard that I pass every day.”

Lady #1: “Yes, I definitely like these. It’s speaking to me.”

Lady #2: *grumbles louder* “So? I have a direct connection to the Creator!”
