Every week for a year, in the run-up to my eighty-first birthday, I crafted a single mantra and lived with it. I repeated it on waking, tested it against the day's news and rebuilt it whenever it rang hollow. Fifty-two survived. I've gathered them here as brief meditations written from inside a world catching fire, on escalation and exile, sovereignty and scarcity, grief, betrayal, kindness and choice. In these pages a border is ink that remembers it was only ever paper, peace is a held breath, and revenge is a wound nobody allows to close. I didn't write them as predictions or as a manifesto. They're meant to be opened anywhere and kept close. They won't put out the fires. What they offer is a little light of their own, enough by which to choose the next step.
