Lighting candles for my friend John. What 1 hospital thought was a kidney stone has turned out to be a blood clot in his kidney. Both the procedure or surgery that will have to be done is VERY dangerous and him being positive makes it double.

For Snack's friend and all that are in need....

Thank you

Sweet, you can call here for advice, and maybe just reassurance. Maybe he is getting worse due to some underlying pathology.

Lighting a candle off Tommi's and Miss Scarlett's for Gramma D, may she find the strength and courage to leave for her own safety.

My prayers are with those who have to choose between medicine and the necessities in life.

Peace be with you all today.

Namaste,
Andrew

My prayers are for strength and healing during a natural disaster.

I light these candles today.. not so much that we find our way in the darkness.. however, moreso that we become more mindful of each other. We all come from different backgrounds, different experiences... different.. yet.. we are also kindred. More than likely.. any given person you may strike up a conversation with.. has gone through something you have as well. Should we not be more mindful of this? That when ... we engage... to try to understand where that person has been? You do not have to "know"... yet.. we can try.. to understand. Let these candles.. serve as a starting point.. a perpetual burning.. of striving and trying to be more mindful and understanding.
