<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">Interestingly, Taoist practitioners highly involved in working toward balance are well aware of the symbolism and philosophy of the Joss House. Yet, those unknowing may or may not realize evil is dealt with through physical and spiritual barriers.</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">In addition to what our Chinese heritage still adds to our lives today, our Gold Rush pioneers also passed along wisdom. Judge C. A. Paulsen, whose parents arrived in the early 1850s, told me a saying he learned from his mother and father who appreciated diversity in people and opinions. I was in first grade when I first heard Judge Paulsen say, “Never worry too much about what happens here (in the Trinities), people get along, die or leave.”</FONT></P>
