Dear India, Please pray.
Please pray for our leaders to walk in the light,
Whether they do on their own, or because they’re forced to – either is alright.

That we hold on to our values, and let honesty be our measure. Continue reading Dear India, Please pray.

The one who will guide you when darkness takes over.

Not Wonderwoman.
