Work of Love
More than 35 years ago, we kindled a fire in the old way, wood on wood.
That same fire has burned here at Temple of the Moon ever since.
Candle lit from candle, fire from fire: the long, slow, patient work of years, keeping the Fire burning.
At midnight tonight, by order of the governor, the state of Minnesota goes into covid lockdown. All non-essential businesses are to be closed. All temples and other houses of worship will shut their doors. People will shelter in place.
So today I head across the River to pick up a case of temple candles. Some things are too important to lay down.
Here at the temple, the twice-daily offerings will continue. The prayers, the praise will not end.
The work of love goes on. The Fire burns.
