Someone Cares About You

We live in an awe-inspiring place called the universe. 

I offered incense to Vesta that I might be a better safe harbor for other people. 

I also kept the flame for 10 minutes tonight on behalf of the world. When I say "the world", I mean, all people. It was a real honor. If you think that no one cares about you, please know that far away, in the night, someone kept a little flame lit on your behalf. 

I am happy to resume my--admittedly small--monastic practice. 

Prayer to Janus, Jupiter, Minerva, and most of all to Mother Vesta, for my family, my friends, for Russia, for Ukraine, for Germany, for Korea, for America, for all countries, friendly or unfriendly, for all people, friendly or unfriendly, for my friends, and for my coworkers. 

Good night.
