When This Blows Over

Sephora : I could never fill all of it, Moses, but I shall not be jealous of
a memory. The queen of Egypt is beautiful, as he told me.
Moses : Does your god live on this mountain?
Sephora : Sinai is His high place, His temple.
Moses : If this god is God, he would live on every mountain, in every
valley. He would not be the god of Ishmael or Israel alone, but of all
men. It is said he created all men in his image. He would dwell in every
heart, every mind, every soul.
Sephora : I do not know about such things, but I do know that the
mountain rumbles when God is there, and the earth trembles, and the
cloud is red with fire.
Moses : At such a time, has any man ever gone to see Him,
face-to-face?
Sephora : No man has ever set foot on the forbidden slopes of
Sinai. Why do you want to see Him, Moses?
Moses : To know that He is. And if He is, to know why He has not
heard the cries of slaves in bondage.
