The 15 Craigside Photo Club meets the first Sunday of the month.  The originators are Irene, who lives on my floor in this seniors community, and Scott Kubo from the Honolulu Museum of Art, our mentor.  Here is a photo of the two.  We are asked by Scott to submit a few photos on a theme he selects for show and tell at our gathering.  This month it had something to do with being thankful.  Of course, family, friends and health are at the top of the list.  At least, Google AI indicated that to me, and I agree.  Most members here will no doubt submit these kinds of photos.  Or something to do with religion. However, when I thought about this earlier in the month, I couldn't come up with interesting enough photos to take or from my photo file.  So I picked rainbows and sunsets, because those photos had a lot of color.  I then narrowed my choice down to only sunsets. Thus, when I sat at the computer this morning, I had further thoughts about ...

The Ritz Carlton Tokyo is indeed a fine hotel.  Maybe even worthy of heaven-like status.  Or maybe, like   15 Craigside , at least Purgatory.  All things considered, this is the finest we've ever experienced.  While 15 Craigside has security, the Ritz Carlton Tokyo has tranquility, a higher order of comfort.   I've thought a lot about the possibility of Heaven, and just cannot believe there is such a place after death.  Nevertheless, I have concluded that if I'm wrong, then Heaven will be what you want it to be, not what God has created.  In other words, there will be a perfect home just for you.  Who will be there is who you want.  My dreams, however, have nothing to do with my present reality, so I hope it does a better job in the afterlife. After only two days/nights, all this extravagance at the RCT seems to actually be getting boring.  If there is a heaven, that is forever, so how does one maintain continued euphoria?...
