amen

did you know that 'amen' means something to the effect of 'let it be so'?

i often wonder how many people know that. it's not just the prayer sign-off word. it's an agreement with something; a motion of the soul:

may this be as we have said.
may it be just like you have said.
may this idea rings true in my soul and i want it so badly,
may it become real and true.

amen.
