The simple altar has all the necessary parts of a moment outside ourselves. There are candles, to remind us that light comes and goes, and is not the real story. There are collection plates, to remind us that money comes and goes, and is not the real story. There is a Bible. There is a piece of handkmade linen on a handmade oak table. What have I forgotten? Oh, yes, the sun.
