Temples...

...in Japan are usually Buddhist but some also have Shinto Shrines,
most of them are old, built centuries ago, and the sun still shines...
...on them and they glow with the knowledge that has passed..
..through the doors and walls, and wait for peace at last.

Relief from human suffering can take many paths,
and so the Monks and Priests have hope that it may last,
but men aren't always kind, worldly ways exist,
so on prayer wheels spin the wishes on ever growing lists.
chouzubachi to purify, by washing hands when entering a Temple.

This Temple is on Oahu, Hawaii
A garden that surrounds a Temple, note the stone Shrine.
Note: Switching to new medications, seems to have offered some relief (so far).
