This morning my plane landed just as the sun rose into the sky. On my way to the bus, I found a church, empty, and went inside to pray. Immediately inside the door were rows of votive candles. I put my 20 pence in the collection, and lit a candle. I sat there for a while, and eventually began making my round of prayers. When I greeted my ancestors, the door to the church opened. A wind blew in and swirled around me and the candle, making the flame dance in a circle. Then it left. Juju anyone?
The Dougherty's are my ancestors, and this is their land.
