Show an affirming flame

[pelagius]

Defenseless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

-W.H. Auden

Please join me in showing the light. Put a light in your window tomorrow night at sunset local time. Continue to do so throughout the coming weekend.

Look around your neighborhood, your town and see the just exchanging their messages.

Keep hope alive.
