| The tree’s in a Shinto Shrine not a Buddhist Temple. You can usually tell the difference between a Shrine and a Temple as the former invariably has a big Torii Gate at its entrance – as here at the top of the steps.

Well I was not going to say anything about the calamity that has happened in the USA, mostly what I have read is it will be over in 4 years 'keep calm' and Jennie's 'Trumptown' at least gives it a funny spin. Also came across this from another friend a Haka by 60 people, such a good way to express your feelings without violence. It is for a different cause in America 'Standing Rock pipeline' perhaps we should learn the dance in this country, against fracking of course!

I think that as we get older we are, on the whole, more able to take things like the US election philosophically - after I - I shall probably not be here in four years time(88) so really I have put it out of my mind.
ReplyDeleteDon't be too gloomy about age, sure you will be, and being philosophical about all the ups and downs in this world is a good trait.
