It is a small world. Just be sure to heed the advice I gave Ferd. If you do make it inside, it really is quite nice. Tom: I too was very influenced by my surroundings, so I moved! To the country! It's wonderful! May your move be equally wonderful! Maribeth: Very funny about the chaos around you! I so understand. I didn't make it inside again, but really don't feel a pressing need to anymore, thankfully. I'm sure if I do drop in again, it will be fine. Jenny: Thank you! It does spoil the view. At least my Shrine is still free! (Donations welcome) H:

Be sure and call FIRST before visiting the Shrine, if you go. And ask whether they're having any "special events." dawn: You already have all the workings there. It just takes a little practice. Believe me, I know. Sarah: I have done a donut, but it didn't turn out to be too cool for two reasons - first, it was done by accident and second, I was in a golf cart. Elaine: It's so nice to find peace in our surroundings, isn't it? Just takes practice. Ferd:

That sounds like such a lovely place. Reminds me of when you show up at places like Blowing Rock, North Carolina or Natural Bridge, Virginia, but you cannot experience the grandeur of God's nature until you whip out your Visa card and incur a debt. Spoils the view, somehow. Typically funny, well-written, and refreshing post, but how sad what they have done to the shrine! That sounds like such a lovely place.

Ilaughed out loud to the thought of you pulling a donut. I hope you eventually got there. Iusually have no problem finding harmony within ,it's the chaos all around me that makes it difficult:) This was great! Ilaughed out loud to the thought of you pulling a donut.

That is why I'm moving further to the south of Poland to the mountains! The industrial heartland of Poland just wasn't doing it for me. Perhaps I can clear my mind there. Really great post, Keli :) I am very influenced by my surroundings (unfortunately). That is why I’m moving further to the south of Poland to the mountains!

My wife used to visit the shrine when she was younger and tried to take me there a couple weeks ago (small world, huh?). She could not remember exactly where it was and figured we could find it. No luck and we went home. We haven't thought about it since, but she'll be thrilled when I tell her about this post. Thank you so very much.

Sometimes I am able to find complete harmony in the simple things that surround me every day, but not often enough. Guess I need to work on this as well. Great post Keli.. you make us think and dig a little deeper into ourselves. I’m like Dawn…and the need to be in a particular setting.

But peace of mind is something that already exists within each of us. I need to work on this one as well. *sigh* I felt I needed to be in a particular setting to find harmony.

You always keep your blog right on track. I'll be in Marina del Rey in a couple of weeks for a conference. Maybe I'll take a moment to try to find the Shrine. But maybe it will be easier to find tranquility right at the beach! Yep, that’s what I’m working on, fostering an attitude of gratitude, though my blog often gets side tracked with random stuff.
