The Goddess from Georgetown

Guan-Yin is the Chinese Bodhisattva of Compassion. The statue is quite impressive. It is in a new adornment house, Bobbie Medlin, on the M Street in Georgetown.

Well, it's more than an adornment house. Or, to be more precise, it is of a special kind. You enter the house, and start a magic journey to faraway places. Bobbie Medlin discovered, years ago, an antique Tibetan flint case and realized the honest beauty of this object, intended for lighting fires high in the Himalayas.
