About this photo: “Every morning I offer incense to Our Lady, praying for peace to all suffering beings. I get caught up in the sad-eyed wheel of the world a lot so it’s good to take the time out to remember that although I’m just a little flickering atom if I can spark off another spirit and elevate them then things ain’t so gloomy. The grief of the world will turn without me, you gotta lift up as much life as you can carry, things being equal and bright under heaven.”
