MEETING A PRAYING MANTISA Praying Mantis clover to bright emerald green landed on my sleeveand lingered as I workedin my hay field.While I’m not much of a praying person,my concern for a friend suffering from cancerled me to ask the mantisto consider praying for her. The creaturevisibly pulled its legsinto praying position (which I realize actually indicates readiness for preyalthough my sleeve held nothing but this creature and my bemused delight).So I asked the mantis on behalf of my less-believer self,projecting my real hope for my friend beating off the cancer preying on her. The mantis visit ended abruptly thereafter.
