Two of my Chinese friends each contacted me today to say how shocked and saddened they felt about the slaughter in my home country. They have large hearts. This photo, taken at Nan Puoto Temple last week, goes out on wings of a thousand healing prayers for all the people coping with horror and loss in Blacksburg, Virginia, U.S.A.

I find peace outdoors and often in gardens. With God's creation all around me and no distractions from my phone or the internet, I feel closer to his presence. It causes me to pray thanksgivings as I wonder at his handiwork.
