Because

It is almost 2 o'clock in the morning.
And because, in other parts of the world, there have have been floods.
And on the weekend, there was an almost full moon and one could see it move across the sky in the silent hours of the morning, and there was a closed (to the public) Zen center somewhere down a long road into the mountains, and although the anniversary of 9-11 was not what it was for some, and there was some cynicism about the media coverage, truth be told, it was still something to many, and there was a sorta not so good kinda day, but then there was an appointment to look forward to. And then the appointment was canceled. And a text that meant "search" accidentally went out as "death" and then the resilient side kicked in because it's still a SEARCH for an autistic boy who went missing.
And there is a full moon on the calendar.
It seems like a time to be prayerful.
