Soul Consoling Tower

Last month I visited Manzanar in California where the United States interned Japanese-Americans. The below picture was taken at the cemetery and is called the Soul Consoling Tower. I’m pausing on this Labor Day to remember to care for my soul and silence in nature is one way. Some books I’m reading are, Palaces For The People, by Eric Klineberg, The Art of Power, by Nancy Pelosi, Table For Two, by Amor Towles and Breathing Under Water, by Richard Rohr. A poem I’m savoring is Padraig O Tuama’s “The Fact of Life.”
