Bring Your Temple With You.

(Yesterday, visited a temple at night. See Ghostwalk)

“Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.”

- Kahlil Gibran


Some took their temple with them. Some forgot and left their temple in their place of worship.

“From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust, God watches them play and forgets the priest”

- Rabindranath Tagore


Love brings joy so why are temples so intimidating? Aren't they places where one manifest one's love for God?

When A Mountain Of Rock Became Scattered Stones.

(Just came back from the ruins of majestic Angkor where we marveled at how great a civilization it must have been and how it could fall. Along with the wonder is the sadness of how ethereal life is when even a mountain can become scattered rocks.)

There is a temple in ruins stands,
Fashion'd by long forgotten hands:
Two or three columns, and many a stone,
Marble and granite, with grass o'ergrown!

- Lord Byron


Walking among the ruins accompanied by the feelings that nothing great last forever.

Prostrate the beauteous ruin lies; and all
That shared its shelter, perish in its fall.

- William Pitt


The ruins left behind, reminded of the many that once lived glorious lives in them.

The Temple Of Stone Is Now A Ruin.

(Early tomorrow morning I'll catch a flight to Siem Reap & the ruins of Angkor Wat. Today's post is dedicated to the temples built by man purportedly for God. Ghost Wise will take a break until I returned in 5 days time. Hope to see you then.)

“I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.”

- Kahlil Gibran


That should be the spirit. But instead the selfish love of our own God divides instead of unites us.

" God wants his temple built of love, but men bring stones. "

- Rabindranath Tagore


Tomorrow as I walked among the ruins, I'll remember this...
