The outside temple is surrounded by lush green trees that have aged beautifully and carry beautiful blossoming jasmine flowers with a pink and white outline. The candles melted around the temple shine brightly and bring a light of glory to the place.

My family is my reason for being. My kids and my wife are all I have. This village is all we know in this crazy world.
How are you doing today? Ach, any day in this beautiful setting tis a sight ta praise the Maker, so I can't say I've any complaints!  I've just finished pickin' the flowers for this evenin's ceremony. I see, what were you able to gather up in these parts? Ah, just have a look yerself!  Did you ever smell anything so sweet? I see, lovely shades of pink and white. Thank you for taking the time to gather them. So what brings you to the temple on this blessed day?  Are you, also, here for the ceremony? Indeed I am, I always bring my family to the temple for these occasions. Well, it's going to be a sumptuous affair.  And for the .. erm.. less children friendly bits, there's caretakers for the little ones available. Is there something different going on this time? Oh, well this year I hear they're introducing sacrifices.  I guess after the earthquake last year, they want to be extra careful this season. Well that certainly is a change, this has always been a peaceful place. Oh, no animals!  But still, the burning of such beautiful blooms so that their smoke make join with the Maker can be disturbing for some.
