Lighting a candle today for all who stop by this "place" of prayer, hope, and love.

lighting a candle for an end of wars and the intrigue that produces wars. The greed, corruption, and tangled morass of racism, poverty, and torture of people, creatures, and the earth.

Lighting a candle for my sister, her husband, her kids that they get through this last part of Dolo's journey with the sense of family still intact. May the Love that shines beyond understanding glow bright as the stars in a desert night.

I light a candle for myself today. For gratitude for the the many kindnesses expressed, the compassion and tender love shown to me here. For thanks to an airline agent who, in the midst of holiday traffic, found me a non-stop flight for December 23, and who had the good send to suggest an open return flight when I was unable to figure that out for myself. And, lastly, for my wretched mood swings, which has entered the point of giddiness from that of despair.
