Little distractions
Have you ever heard of prayer flags ? Well apparently they are seen everywhere in Tibet or other countries where Buddhism is common . I took a little workshop recently a Healing Arts Program and we made these prayer flags .
These are the traditional colours, yellow represents earth ; green / water ; red/ fire ; white /air and blue for spirit or space . They are a simple construction of rectangles of fabric each with a prayer or quote and of course you could decorate them as much or as little as you wish . Due to time restraints we simply wrote a quote on each and did a running stitch on a piece of ribbon to hold them all together . Making them and allowing the messages to sink into my somewhat overwhelmed brain gave me a sense of peace. They will hang outside our home until nature decides to take them away along with the messages they each contain . I have made more elaborate prayer flags for an exchange years ago but these simple flags will also bring messages of hope , love and faith into the universe.

ReplyDeleteSending you thoughts and prayers for both of you. It is so difficult to see your loved ones suffering. The prayer flags are such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteAh, Sheila, I hope that all of your prayers and hopes are answered in the best possible way. I hope that Bill is doing better and recovering fully. Sometimes life is just so dang hard, isn't it? Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! I’m so glad you embraced it and followed through with it. Not only did it make you feel a little better by making them, then hanging them, but every time you look at them, you’ll take a deep, refreshing breath.
