In Kerala, the state of South India from which I come, there are stone parapets along the roadside the height of a man's head. When people need to rest from carrying heavy loads of rice or fruit on their heads, they stand next to the parapet and shift their load onto it. For us the Lord is the perennial parapet, standing at exactly the right height for each one of us.
