I was thinking about my blog and the various things I’ve covered in it. As I considered it I realized that I have been more faithful to the title that I ever intended to. Truly this entries all reflect back on Ivory Towers. <\/p>\n
How many of these entries are about temples? How many are about mountains>which are temples? How many are about retiring to a place for introspection? How many are about family, which is the reason we have temples? So either those are the only things I write about or every significant experience in my life leads back to the temple. It is certainly an interesting thought. <\/p>\n
“Man is a spiritual being, a soul, and at some period of his life everyone is possessed with an irresistible desire to know his relationship to the Infinite. . . . There is something within him which urges him to rise above himself, to control his environment, to master the body and all things physical and live in a higher and more beautiful world.”
\n\u2014 David O. McKay<\/p>\n
