The Evening Star

Tonight, for the first time in many years, there appeared to me again a vision of the earth's splendor: in the evening sky the first star seemed to increase in brilliance as the earth darkened until at last it could grow no darker. And the light, which was the light of death, seemed to restore to earth its power to console. There were no other stars.

Having the app and flashing it to the pretty lady at the check-in counter makes you look like a frequent flyer. I am not.  I also wanted to carry a cigarette lighter on board. The app said it was kinda fine. I didn't bring one anyway and just boug

Prayer

Prayer by Francisco Arcellana CLOSE all open things, Lord. Open all closed things. All those who have long received, let them give. All those who have long given, let them receive. All those too long apart, let them come together. All those too long together, sunder them. Let the wise be fools for once, Lord, And let the fools speak their minds. Affirm the long-denied,
