Day 10: candle light


My cat with a candle. Best I could do in full daylight.
The Prime Minister of India asked all Indians to turn out their electric lights and light a candle at 9pm last night for nine minutes in a show of unity. The idea is controversial among Indians who are exasperated with their PM's response to the coronavirus, but it is catching on with people who just want some way to show their solidarity with all the other human beings on planet Earth. It's a tiny way to say, this isn't about politics, and it's not about our country vs your country. This is about the candle in my window, and the candle in your window, and the candles that light up in a wave as each time zone hits 9pm. #lightacandleforcorona #wearetheworld I'm doing it.
