Piety

Rhythms and patterns of seasons that pass - through the harvests in autumn, the coldness of winter, viridian spring and the sweltering summer - are felt by the people, the plants and the beasts that exist on this planet so beauteous. Through the days and the nights are the voices of deities, spirits and ancestors - spoken in ancient or modernized languages. Many have stories and names that are lost in the annals of time, but with care there are people in places, both distant and close, that will honor their presence in private, devoted oblations most solemnly. Virtues and prayers are expressed through their passions, vocations and movements in cities, both urban and rural - embodying sacred domains that are ruled by immortal and splendorous deities.

Vale

The Golden State - with sunny, arid coastal valleys bears abundance great. With mountain summits, vast, eremic deserts, verdant woods and rivers clear, its sunny arid coastal valleys yield the fruits of nature, culture, balmy clime, refined machines and rich, divergent towns. This past and present, blessed land, along the vast Pacific Coast with roaring surf, has grace that’s found in every home its people live. The Golden State - for all its pleasant gifts - has many fools that seek illusions, hubris, fame and loathsome grifts, but many more are common folk that love the sunny, arid coastal valleys good and fair.

Life

Desirously, the throngs of the estatically, intoxicated cultists there near dedicated instruments are dancing and elatedly intoning so devotedly, while wine in each amphora - like the flesh of all the creatures that are offered in the center of the altar - is with Bacchus and his worshippers devoured in a mania.
