Eclipse Trophies
A L O H A !
Ok. It's a basin of water.
But it worked!
The sun regulates and effects us
on so many biological levels.
We all know how it creates electricity,
and grows all our food. Well I felt a
disquiet as the already grey day darkened.
Birds did not sing, or use the feeders.
When the sun returned, especially the
customary afternoon Summer sun and
blue skies around the Bay, I felt / feel
renewed and happy!
Glad too, that Americans
could agree on the value of
SOMETHING, even for one day.
Let it be a good sign
as the Wisdom of the Crowd
appraises the real condition
of our national affairs.
"But you can't fool all the
people ALL the time."
US. President, Abraham Lincoln
". . . and the Sun has perished
out of heaven, and an
evil mist hovers over all."
Homer, The Odyssey
San Francisco's North Bay
was cloudy. But then skies
cleared enough to see the
end of the eclipse
in our Sky Mirror.
But it worked!

the stars so fine, the

I thought I was

Tin How Temple
A L O H A !
Into busy, crowded,
jumbled, historic,
San Francisco Chinatown!
As mysterious as a
pyramid tower disappearing
into the fog. . . looking for
the Taoist temple. . . Tien Hau
“Travel makes one modest.
You see what a tiny
place you occupy
in the world.”
Gustave Flaubert

San Francisco Chinatown!

"Right place, but this does NOT
look like a temple." You might say.
But long years enjoying Honolulu's
Chinatown have taught me:
Look at the little door at the
side!
I know there will be a LONG walk
up many stairs, to the temple itself
on the top floor. Here we see
European tourists ready to leave.
I was up there: Top Floor.
Oh the art I saw
and could not
photograph!
You can read more about
the oldest Chinese Temple
in America Here.
Though some Honolulu
temples might be older,
they were founded in the
Kingdom Of Hawaii,
NOT America. So I
concede the honorific
with respects
to each place:
My former longtime home
and my becoming
New One.
