King Silas Benjamin:
The days of confusion are behind me. I know the smell of omen; I knew it once better, and feared to never have it again.

King Silas Benjamin:
[giving Rev. Samuels an envelope containing a twig with small leaves]... Perhaps no longer withheld...

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
[cautiously, as he examines the twig] Perhaps forgiven.

[Silas presses his hands together before his face, prayerfully]

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
Acacia is a portent of change... of death and resurrection.

King Silas Benjamin:
Death?

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
And rebirth - beginnings on the heels of ending.

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
[he removes a small leaf and presses it into Silas' hand] Change comes from inside the heart... those you love to be its agents.

King Silas Benjamin:
Who?

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
If God has indeed resumed conversation with you... there will be more signs. Let them guide you.

King Silas Benjamin:
And if those signs guide me to *your* door?

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
...It will be open.
