The Purple Shirt Charlton Heston is wearing tells me that photo was taken the week preceding Northwestern's visit to the Rose Bowl. Heston, a Northwestern alum, hosted the Northwestern Football Team at Universal Studios.
Earlier this week I was privy to remarks directed to students of Mikuni International College in Japan where I had once taught. The remarks were on the subject of setting and accomplishing goals. The speaker, Neal Doying, shared his personal experience of setting goals to learn to play the guitar and then to write songs. He then shared with us one of the songs he had written and which he subsequently just posted on YouTube in response to my inquiry asking if it could be shared with others.
Link to Video of the Song "Witness Trees" written and performed by Neal Doying with Karina and Lindsey Reyes and linked here with permission:
My photos taken, in the words of the song, as a "pilgrim from far," to the setting of the "Witness Trees" a/k/a "The Sacred Grove" located in Palmyra New York:
The reconstructed house from which the song's "humble seeker" departed to enter the nearby grove to pray:
Lyrics to the song, Witness Trees" which according to the author were inspired by learning that some of the trees in the Sacred Grove are more than 200 years old and would have likely stood as witness to the "light glorious and bright" seen there in 1820 by the "humble seeker" who came there to pray;
The seasons turn
The years roll by
And we have all grown old
And to our children's children
Our story we have told:
We saw the light
Glorious and bright
Hallelujah
We were there.
We stand as witnesses
With lives written in rings
Of that morning long ago
Our souls rise to sing:
We saw the light
Glorious and bright
Hallelujah
We were there.
Just a humble seeker
On his knees in prayer
Now the world's changed forever
And we declare:
We saw the light
Glorious and bright
Hallelujah
We were there.
Pilgrims come from far and near
To ponder and to pray
With a voice small and still
This is what we say:
We saw the light
Glorious and bright
Hallelujah
We were there.

In Shinto, Japan’s original religion, Nature is revered and at least some trees are identified as having a Spirit or Soul.
In this video taken at Kirishima Jinju Shrine on the island of Kyushu one such tree is so identified by its wrapping with a straw rope.
Beyond simply being a tree with a Spirit, this particular tree is revered for the natural image found on one of its branches that resembles an ancestral Diety of Jimmu, Japan’s first Emperor , and is for this added reason sacred to the Shinto religion.

My Concurrently taken Photo of the Sacred Spirit Tree at Kirishima Jinju Shinto Shrine:
In addition to trees with Spirits of their own, Japan’s original religion , Shinto, reveres other objects from Nature such as this stone.
The moss covered stone seen in this video at Kirishima Jinju Shrine on the island of Kyushu is of added significance as it is believed to be the same boulder described in Japan’s National Anthem.
