An artist is building this temple with help from volunteers. It will open on February 14, one year from the massacre at Stoneman Douglas High School. It is somehow intended to be healing for those who are grieving. It will be up for 3 months, then burned to the ground. The woodwork is beautiful. Cell phone shot.
@snowy Apparently this artist has done a number of these temples for the healing of pain. This is an excerpt from a newspaper story:
"Some students at Stoneman Douglas have already met with the artist and are creating symbols that will be incorporated into the temple.
“They’re actually creating designs that will be scanned and laser cut into 16-by-16 inch blocks of raw wood that will be used to create the temple,” said Jacquelene Lieberman, an art teacher at the Parkland high school. “Some students are creating symbols that might relate to one of the victims. I don’t think they know if it’s going to help them or not. But they’re open to it.”
