i am lighting a candle-carefully and in a well-protected area-for all those affected by the wildfires in Oklahoma. many have lost everything, homes, livestock, livelihood...and also for those devasted by tornadoes in Louisiana. for those of you who live in dry areas, please THINK before you toss a match or cigarette out of the window, or even light up a barbeque. we are in the middle of the dry wildfire season now, and fires catch so easily. i light this candle not only only for the humans affected but also for the animals whose habitat was lost as well as lives, the vegetation that was once more burned to a cinder, and to the very earth that was made even more barren than it already is.
