Solace in temples

In this crazy time, I need a place to be away from my home, away from other people, and a place to gather my thoughts.  For the most part, my family has found temples and shrines are pretty deserted.

Sanpo Ji was the temple we stopped at when we went to Ozaki Flower Market.  It was a beautiful and relaxing place that offered a bit of the respite we all need right now.


Maybe at some point we will go back and learn more about the history and philosophy of the temple.  But for now, we'll just appreciate the bit of solace it is affording us.
