So what about the silence?
Here's how this poem came to be written: Lord of the nations - We remember with grateful hearts the men and women of our country who went forth to protect the liberty we enjoy but who did not return!
Help us recognise the debt we owe them so that we may strive, in our own lives, to protect the freedoms that were won at so great a cost.
And so we commit to your safekeeping those who have died in war; those whose memory we treasure; those who have sacrificed themselves in the service of humankind.
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. AMEN

Diwali is the four- to five-day long Festival of Lights celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists. One of the most popular dates on the Hindu calendar, Diwali symbolises the spiritual victory of light over darkness, and takes place each year between October and November after the conclusion of harvest and to coincide with the new moon. During the celebration, streets, homes, offices and shops are illuminated with light, which acts as a metaphor for knowledge and consciousness. Over the five-day period of the festival, people prepare by cleaning and decorating their homes. The festivities reach their peak on the third day, Diwali, which falls on the darkest day of the Hindu lunar month, Kartik. On this day, revellers dress up, light up their homes with oil lamps and candles (diyas) and worship Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity and wealth. They also light fireworks and enjoy a feast with their family, sharing mithai (sweets) and gifts.
Here's a video of how different this festival might be in time of COVID-19!
A PRAYER FOR DIWALI
Light shines in darkness. Light takes away darkness. Light brings hope.
God of light, when things seem difficult or when we’re frightened or sad, and good is stronger than bad. AMEN |
