Votive candle

St Jude: Patron Saint of Desperate and Lost Causes.  I light a candle for you so you may help me overcome my fears and tackle this whole architecture registration mess.  

I'm not even a practicing catholic anymore, and yet there's something so reassuring about votive candles. This combination of idolatry, hope and home decoration.  Also, St Jude has to be the best patron saint ever, because Lost Causes is a worthy endeavor if I ever saw one.  Who hasn't at one time or another felt that a goal seemed so dismal so as to render it pointless?


Maybe someday I will sort out the clusterf*ck that is N C A R B and become a licensed architect.  I'm not holding my breath, but it would be nice to finish it.  Just to prove to myself that I could.
