The sea today was tranquil at Batu Bolong and the temple that rises from its hole devoted to Ida Batara Segara, the Hindu Lord of Peace and Purification. Jutting out on rocks precipitous into the Strait of Lombok is this shrine to honor Hyang, the supreme god of existence in Balinese Hinduism. You can see the image at the top of that 'obelisk'.

On my window sill this morning I found this quite wonderful, delicate Southern Oak Bush-cricket; her green adorned with that pretty red. She reminded me of 'la Fée Verte', the Green Fairy, a name by which the liquor absinthe once went - light in the uptake, quite harsh though in the aftermath. Absinthe, of course, has often been associated with Bohemian culture of the likes of Oscar Wilde, Hemingway and many others. For a long time the drink was banned. Earlier, absinthe down through the ages was used as a drug of purification. The fresh green of our cricket brings purity to my mind.
This Bush-cricket is relatively new to The Netherlands. It hails from the Adriatic and Mediterranean but has been found here since 1992 perhaps due to global warming and mass international travel. However that may be, she delighted Olymp and me.
Tirta Empul temple is a Hindu Balinese water temple located near the town of Tampaksiring, Bali, Indonesia. The temple compound consists of a petirtaan or bathing structure, famous for its holy spring water, where Balinese Hindus go to for ritual purification. The temple pond has a spring which gives out fresh water regularly, which Balinese Hindus consider to be holy or amritha. Wikipedia
I've always loved this image because of the three young brothers who seem to have their heads bowed in prayer :)

Introduction
Gospel Movie Clip (4) - Is the Pardoning of Our Sins Really a Ticket to the Kingdom of Heaven?
Many people in religion think that they have admitted their sins and repented of them after believing in the Lord, so they have been redeemed, and been saved by grace. When the Lord comes, He will lift them up directly into the kingdom of heaven, and He cannot possibly do the work of purification and salvation. Does this view tally with the reality of God's work? It is said in the Bible: "Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14). Almighty God says: "You have missed a step in your belief in God: You have merely been redeemed, but have not been changed. For you to be after God’s heart, God must personally do the work of changing and cleansing you; if you are only redeemed, you will be incapable of attaining sanctity. In this way you will be unqualified to share in the good blessings of God" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

The blooming of cherry blossoms (sakura) at Shinto shrines, such as Fushimi Inari Taisha, is far more than spring decor—it embodies core Shinto ideals. Their fleeting bloom symbolizes mono no aware, a Japanese aesthetic concept (influenced by Buddhism but embraced in Shinto practices) that finds beauty in impermanence. This transience reminds us that nothing in life is eternal, yet its temporary nature holds profound value. In the brief life of each flower lies a lesson: to cherish the present and honor beauty that exists only in fleeting moments.
Spring’s cherry blossoms also mirror Shinto themes of renewal. As the season marks new beginnings, the blooms align metaphorically with purification rituals (harae) that cleanse the old to welcome the new. While Shinto purification formally uses water, salt, or paper streamers (shide), the sakura’s cyclical rebirth echoes this spiritual refreshment, reflecting nature’s endless cycle of death and regeneration.
In Shinto, cherry trees are not worshipped like shinboku (sacred trees such as cedars or cypresses, which house kami or spirits). Yet their blossoms, with their ethereal beauty, evoke the belief that kami dwell in all nature. Though not objects of direct veneration, sakura act as bridges between the human and divine. During hanami (flower viewing), their fragile splendor invites quiet reflection, gratitude, and awe for the interconnectedness of life.
Hanami, then, transcends mere aesthetic celebration. It becomes a meditative practice—an acknowledgment of life’s fragility and a tribute to nature’s wisdom. In their short-lived glory, cherry blossoms teach us to embrace impermanence, respect the natural world, and recognize the sacred in every season.
