As I drove an Indian couple and their baby the mother was softly chanting mantras to soothe the child. I found it soothing listening to the gentle melodies and perfect sanskrit pronunciation. One of the chants was to Laxmi the goddess of prosperity. I almost joined in on Hanuman Chalisa but decided to be a quiet driver and observe a vow of silence. After I dropped them off at the airport I had a two hour wait before the next curbside pickup. Arrival time was late, it came and passed, the client wasn't answering her cell so I decided to drive in at 145am to search for her in baggage which was completely deserted. No show. I drove home remembering the voice of the mother singing prayers to goddesses I can't see but I believe do show up when we call.
