Storytime 

My Dad used to say, "Have I told you this story?" and if we said yes, he'd say "Well here it comes again." If we said no, it was on auto-pilot.

One of my favorite stories, that still makes me laugh was when WonderWoman was a teenager & had a car. She saved up to get a personalized license plate.

We went to SC Auto Club to see about it. The man who waited on us was a stern older gentleman. He looked tired, like he might have had teenagers of his own at some time. 

WW had ideas, and he would look them up to see if they were available, but each one was taken. The man was quiet, simmering but patient with us. Finally, Erin (aka WW) said how about "Er hed"?

He smiled slightly, and quietly said ..."that seems appropriate."

I laughed so hard, that he saw it was okay to laugh, & soon WW  

and friend, Kerry joined in to the point that other people in the 

huge office turned to see what had caused the uproar.

1990

Later at Esperanza H.S. they had a raffle for a parking space.

She won, and they sprayed her license plate, ER HED 

on her space bumper.

Good story?

Sean and Demura Sensei, Santa Ana, CA. 1992?

  

The building was not abandoned. It was gradually absorbed. In Guangdong Province, a banyan tree has grown into a structure over centuries, its roots descending from above and thickening into forms that now frame the entrance.

Instead of destroying the walls, the tree adapted around them. The structure remained, altered but intact, as both elements continued to exist together.

Banyan trees hold cultural importance in Chinese heritage, often linked to endurance and continuity, which adds another layer to this transformation.

The result is visible. How the balance between growth and stability was sustained over time remains open.
