"Cherry Blossom Incense Burning"



Akemi-mama gave me 
cherry blossom incense sticks 
and a burning dish from her shoppe.


I wanted to use the first stick 
to welcome in the new semester.

Though sacred smoke 
is supposed to be applied to your body 
on Buddhist temple grounds, 
Kate & I had our own thurification event 
full of giggles and happy meditation.


Though we practice a different religion
learning about another's beliefs 
helps crack open their heart to you a little better.

{ "Sakura" is a traditional Japanese folk song.}
