Three sets of prayer beads.

 

For Smile on Saturday. Theme - Beads and Pearls.

Sundown, last night.

 

Looking down, over the sea fog, and Ailsa Craig, and the Firth of Clyde. Distillery at the coast.

Prayer

 

Some days, although we cannot pray, a prayer

utters itself. So, a woman will lift

her head from the sieve of her hands and stare

at the minims sung by a tree, a sudden gift.

 

Some nights, although we are faithless, the truth

enters our hearts, that small familiar pain;

then a man will stand stock-still, hearing his youth

in the distant Latin chanting of a train.

 

Pray for us now. Grade 1 piano scales

console the lodger looking out across

a Midlands town. Then dusk, and someone calls

a child's name as though they named their loss.

 

Darkness outside. Inside, the radio's prayer -

Rockall. Malin. Dogger. Finisterre.

Someone is praying in the direction of Mekkah under the walls of Essasouira. I did want to wait a big green wave to capture this image because my hope was to capture an "high contrast" moment, in every meaning. Do you want to try to list all the contrasts in the photo?

For all that have been touched by this health crisis, for all that have survived it, for the ones that are battling it, for the ones that are in the front line facing this reality, trying to save lives.

For all the families that had and have to grieve and endure loss.

For all of you out there, my most heartfelt prayers .

 

We visited Jasper National Park back in July of this year. This view was just outside our cabin. I ventured about ten yards to this point as the evening was fast ahead. Little did I know a coyote would soon pass this spot about one minute right after I left. We saw him from our cabin window as he passed right by.

There are some major fires going on in the national park currently. A lightning strike on Sept 1st was the cause. My heart and prayers are with those up in that area.

Like a Prayer

Madonna

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone

I hear you call my name

And it feels like home

When you call my name it's like a little prayer

I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there

In the midnight hour I can feel your power

Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing

I have no choice, I hear your voice

Feels like flying

I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling

Out of the sky, I close my eyes

Heaven help me

When you call my name it's like a little prayer

I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there

In the midnight hour I can feel your power

Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

Like a child you whisper softly to me

You're in control just like a child

Now I'm dancing

It's like a dream, no end and no beginning

You're here with me, it's like a dream

Let the choir sing

When you call my name it's like a little prayer

I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there

In the midnight hour I can feel your power

Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

When you call my name it's like a little prayer

I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there

In the midnight hour I can feel a power

Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone

I hear you call my name

And it feels like home

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there

Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery

Just like a dream, you are not what you seem

Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there

It's like a dream to me

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there

It's like a dream to me

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there

It's like a dream to me

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there

It's like a dream to me

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there

Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery

Just like a dream, you are not what you seem

Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there

Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery

Just like a dream, you are not what you seem

Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Your voice can take me there, just like a prayer

This image I am posting is a macro taken in Costa Rica of a praying mantis. As a child they always fascinated me and I was thrilled to have had the opportunity of seeing the beautiful species of praying mantis that makes his home in Costa Rica.

 

Wishing you a great and blessed evening !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please say a prayer for our Little Bungee this day as we have decided to go ahead with another operation in an attempt to help him have a chance at a normal life.

 

As of this juncture, he is dizzy, can't walk straight and refuses food and water.

 

His surgery will attempt to remove a growth causing this unfortunate physical symptom interfering with his life.

 

He is still very young so perhaps he will be able to overcome this infirmary.

 

Thank you all in advance for your prayer and thoughts.

This is a knot with special religious significance at the end of some very old Islamic prayer beads. I will attempt to find out it’s background. You can see that it has suffered a lot of wear over the years.

Olive often looks sad with her big dark eyes so I have named her sad seal. She has a gentle soul and I love her dearly. She has extra senses and can feel the vibrations of a tornado before we knew it was coming. She looks around lays her ears back then runs to the basement to hide in her secret place. Then within minutes of this behavior the siren blares and we too have to go in the basement because of the tornado warnings

There are many things that can not be prevented.

Still, they pray that they are not.
