Imagine

I'm not a religious person in the truest sense of the word; although my husband and I attend church regularly and at some point have been very active in church. But I never ever considered myself relious. My mother is the one who's religious. She dragged me to church every chance she got.

I do like going to church, especially when I'm traveling. Not usually to pray (although no matter what type of church it is, even a mosque, I say a little thank you) but to enjoy the architecture.

Going to church and socializing with other church members is another thing the pandemic ended temporarily; and I'm going to say I miss it. I miss going to church on Sundays. I miss visiting churches while traveling.

You know what's curious though? The place where I felt the the presence of a God in a most intense way, I could not even fully describe it, was in Yosemite. I suppose being in Nature will give you that warm, well-loved feeling.

Anyway, here's a random selection of house of worships from previous travels. By the way, I join many of you who cannot wait when we all could pack our bags and go through Immigration again.
