I almost forgot to tell you

This year, I spent Rosh Hashanah in a Balinese Hindu temple of the Wesia caste of Bedulu, asking for purification from Saang Hyang Widi Wasa, the Balinese God that unifies Wisnu, Shiva and Brahma, for purification through offerings of flowers and incense, and celebrating the temple’s anniversary.

Now there’s a sentence I never dreamt of having the privilege to write.

Amen.
