I stopped by Daiso the Japanese store not far from our house this afternoon just to browse. As I was there I met a friendly woman around 85 or so.

There were various rock carved statues of animals, one I remember being a tortise, put in front of places throughout...

Their little flickers of light made me smile with delight and I thanked God for them. Now as the daylight was starting to fade I...
