Praying at the shrine
I've long since become an anti-religion type of person, it's responsible for so much bullshit it's not funny. Yet seeing how the Japanese behave and partake at the shrines and temples in their respective faiths, I saw something new and unique. I saw no angst or motives, just a welcoming of a way to see and be calm in light of the events of the day, like a part of life as opposed a indoctrination. Rose tinted tourist glasses maybe, but those temples and shrines touched me in ways I didn't think anything would again...
Deep humility in being there.
