Taipei Matsu Temple
old woman relates
her full grouses
It is at one of the Matsu temples that I saw a woman who as she stood
related a full tale of her life to the Goddess Matsu, the most worshipped Goddess on the island. She is also the patron saint for fishermen. The woman's related quite audibly what sounded like A to Z of her family problems. For me, it was her faith that struck me. Matsu Temples are scattered all over Taiwan.
