It is difficult to put into words, and is probably the reason why it has taken so long to blog. We have been visiting 'local' temples, some a train and three busses away from our second home. Something is drawing us here, deeper now on our second coming as it were, and most of it revolves around Shiva, the destroyer and creator of the universe in Hindu lore. We have both experienced a series of mental/spiritual cleansing similar to peeling a couple of layers off the old psychic onion to reveal a bit more of the core, the true eye-tearin' truth. Not that we are ready to convert or anything... I don't even know if one CAN convert to Hinduism or whether that would change anything here with our obvious 'visitor' status. But something is gently nudging us in the direction of self exploration involving fire, stone, history, and symbols. This Temple was all ours, the nearest local was blocks away, the nearest visitor a half mile afar. With fresh jasmine falling from the tree and dancing in the wind, we too danced around the temple. The gate was locked due to structural instability so we were not allowed in, but as I said before, we were called to be there. I was able to get me camera inside for two shots, without which we would have seen nothing. Treasures are revealed for those who look without looking...--- aeryk ---
