When in Istan, do as the Thais do

When I’m not living in Nong Kae Thailand, I live in Istan, Spain,
both are small villages sort of nestled in mountains, sort of near great seas,
quite similar in many ways, and in others,
quite different.

In Nong Kae I go to the temple almost every day, to meditate,
not that I’m ‘religious’ in the formal sense, because I’m not, but it often makes me feel good, or at least,
better.

In Istan I go to the church almost every day, to pray,
not that I’m ‘religious’ in the formal sense, because I’m not, but it often makes me feel good, or at least,
better.

In Nong Kae, In Istan,
in a church, in a temple,
I guess, what in hope the senses cannot verify, the heart attempts to,
and I cannot tell the difference.
