"As this year 2025 is a "Krismas" year, I have opted to go to a Roman Catholic church that I call endearingly the "Clam Temple," as I am a Buddhoanimist. As I walked out of the driveway of the church the other day, I saw the white minister in a Collarino coming by, and we said "Good morning!" to each other. It's good to see good people. Animistically speaking, I think that evil spirits have infected many people in my district, or even this whole world. Incidentally, I saw a bunny chewing on a white daisy flower, then it ran off. The ambiance of "innocence" these days is harder to find."
