Language Classes, 12/21
Written on the blackboard:
LAST CLASS -- Please hand in your final projects
There is a basket on Dream's desk to collect the papers; next to it sits another basket, full of red-and-green wrapped candy canes and Christmas chocolates. Dream is not visible, but a large raven is perched on his desk, watching over the students. When a paper is turned in, he inspects it with shiny eyes and seems to caw his approval.

Re: Classics, 12/21
According to the tenets of Hinduism, God is one as well as many. He is to be found everywhere and in everything. He is an enigma, because He is in many things at a time and is many things at a time. He is here and He is there.He is with forms and also without form. He speaks and He speaks not. He is the self and also the not-self. To say that this is God and this is not is perhaps much more sacrilegious than seeing God in images and idols and worshipping Him. Hinduism recognizes this fundamental truth about God in letter and spirit. For the Hindus the whole universe is sacred, permeated by His presence, radiating His glory, sustained by Him and manifested by Him. Everything in it and every aspect of it, without an exception, is sacred and worthy of worship. .
Early Italic cultures, however, did not worship specific gods, but rather worshipped undefined spirits called numina. Each place had its own numen: rivers and trees, groves, fields and buildings. As diverse cultures converged and settled on the Italian peninsula, they brought with them a variety of gods and forms of worship. As a result of such migration and cultural exchange, Roman polytheism was remarkably diverse and flexible. In addition to the numina, Roman religion included worship of ancestors and household gods and worship of anthropomorphic deities, some native, some historical, and some imported from Greece and the East.
