"Tranquility",
because of its irregular capitalization, is obviously an important word in this
phrase of the Constitution. When I think of "tranquility", the first
words that come to mind are nature, balance, spiritualism, etc. When I think of
"domestic", the first words that come to mind are home, self, family,
etc.
The phrase
"domestic Tranquility" reminds me of a person’s mind and soul being
in a state of peace in their own body. People find peace within themselves
through meditation, yoga, and other religious and spiritual practices. This is
why I chose to take pictures of a place of meditation, and I figured the best
place to start my search would be in Chinatown.
I
found a place a little out of the way, on 10th and Pine Street, called
"Mind Body & Spirit Work Shop". This is great because it has an
image of a person meditating in the window, aligning their seven chakras.
Another place of meditation I found was “Fo Shou Temple” in Chinatown, on 1015
Cherry Street, which has beautiful Asian architectural details in the front
entryway.
