Crochet artist who is an avid reader, who contemplates & scribbles her thoughts to share.....       Right there, in the middle of the high vaulted ceiling of this empty Sanctuary stood a colossal mirror.      Perturbed by the contrast that I saw & what I had expected, warily, I walk myself towards the mirror scrupulously.      Y in the world would this place be even salient?

It's open during day & closed at night. No candles, no flowers & no incense sticks ever spread their smoke here.       Forlorn, eerie almost wraithy if you ask me. An intense feeling of foreboding fills me as I approach it. How in the world has it been coined as a shrine?

You are triggering your memory, sense of smell, sense of sight & movement of muscles to bend down & smell it. But for an autistic kid it's tsunami of triggers through the brain that act as agitators.                      The reason they are sleepless or are up at odd hours in the night is due to hyper stimulation of the brain.      Staying aloof, no eye
