I visited a temple in Japan many years ago. There was a big statue of a very fierce looking creature. It seemed out of place. I asked my Japanese friend, what is this doing in a temple? He explained, it is a fierce deity. It has one job, to frighten any evil influences that wish to enter the temple space. I was very impressed when I saw Claudia doing something similar. I know Claudia likes Basho. From memory, " In the meadow, the skylark sings, free of all things ". Be inspired by a life well lived. Love to Claudia and Richard. Simon
