Talking to Mary

I was lying awake at night, grappling with some unthinkable problem as usual and I asked the Virgin Mary for her opinion. She was very punctual in her advice. She said: “If you cancel the agreement now, you will have paid the deposit for nothing and get a plan to pay for this in easier installments!”

People will think me a nutter if I say I talk with the Virgin Mary and of course, I don’t. I think. I pray and a thought comes into my head. The atheist would argue that this is pure self delusion. Do all one’s thoughts just come from within one’s own head? Perhaps they do – or do they?
