The moon, as seen from my street in Hawaii.
Today we celebrate the Moon Festival
and send warm wishes to friends and family far away
by all toasting the moon.

吐玉泉. Togyokusen-- a special spring
Togyokusen is a natural spring in Mito, Japan.
This area has produced a large amount of spring water since ancient times.
The water here is said to be a remedy for vision problems,
but was also used during tea ceremonies.
About 100 tons of water pour from this spring every day.

what next?
What am I becoming as the days and nights fly past?
(From the Dasadhamma Sutra)
I am guessing that it depends on how I spend the present moment.
