Answered Prayers

I prayed and made an offering to Vesta. My prayers were answered. I'm a natural skeptic. A little bit I believe it; mostly, I don't.

Still, prayer & piety seem purehearted to me. So, I like them.

Vesta is about purity and forgiveness. If not forgiveness, then a kind of clemency and hospitality of the heart that says, I won't condemn you; you're safe with me. Based on personal experiences, I crave these things.

I don't want to get carried away, but I will try to be more pious and less lazy about prayer.

I called my parents and told them I was trying to live every day in a way that would make them proud. I hope this made them smile.
