As you open the intricately carved oak
doors, the scent of incense fills your
nostrils and your mind swirls as picture
after picture of events long past and
things to come overtake you and send you
to another time, another place. The
images are familiar, yet unknown as if
seen only in the back of your mind upon
awakening from a deep sleep. Looking
around the room, the colored stones seem
to glow from the walls as the candlelight
reflects off of them. Through the window
on the opposite wall one can see the
beautiful landscape and the painting of a
goddess beneath it. There are no seats,
only a cushion on the floor in front of the
deep purple marble altar. The room is bare
but for the offerings of flowers, jewels,
and others to numerous to mention. You step
inside and peace immediately overcomes you
and you are transported to the heavens.
