Whenever all human resources: friends, relatives, patrons, and pillars of support, have proven themselves
futile to comfort you…that is your altar.
Whenever all the lines of communication have been destroyed to isolate you…that is your altar –
Whenever the last thread of affection has cut you beyond any trace of recognition… that is your altar –

poured out in abundance upon you!
