I have them scattered throughout my home. I love the energy they bring when they capture light.<br /><br />As for me, since I am half Asian, I enjoy burning incense to clear the air. <br /><br />Thanks for the post.

I guess it's part of human nature to want to be in a group where everybody is just alike. Every place I've worked, or gone to school, every organization, every community I've lived in--there's pressure to conform to some "norm," no matter how far from "normal" that might be.<br /><br />I think it's usually fear-based, whether it's fear of the Other or fear of something within ourselves.<br /><br />It would be so BORING if it actually were achievable!

They must meet with a certain amount of skepticism every day. Maybe that bothers them more than it bothers you!<br /><br />I didn't realize the Washington Monument is still closed.
