For southern belles and fairies that are princesses and ravens and horses and gators that aren’t hungry. And people who worry because they’re loving and protective. Especially them. This is St. John’s basilica Savannah. Just became one a couple years ago. Pope was nice enough to do it. Don’t care for this pope. But that’s just me. And has nothing to do with the beauty of this place. Which also has nothing to do with prayers being answered. I think you can do that anywhere. It does feel the reception is clearer in a church though. And we all want clear reception.
Paws pressed in prayer,
I chant your name to the wind,
you now rest in peace.
I sit before your stone, my paws pressed together the way I watched you pray to Buddha. The wind carries my soft chant, and I send your name into the sky so it will not be lost. I do not search for you anymore—I know you are resting. I keep watch, as I always did, trusting that you sleep in peace while my love remains here, warm and faithful, beside you.

In Matho Monastery, Ladakh, India.
Matho Monastery, Matho Gompa or Mangtro Monastery or Mangtro Gompa, from the Tibetan "mang" that means "many" and "tro" that means "happiness", is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery located 26 kilometres southeast of Leh in Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, northern India, on the banks of the Indus River. The village of Matho is located at the mouth of a deep gorge running out of the Zanskar Range and across the Indus. It is directly opposite Thikse Monastery.
Founded in 1410 century by Lama Dugpa Dorje, it belongs to the Sakya Order. It is noted for its six-hundred-year-old thangkas and its Matho Nagrang Festival. The gompa is the only one in Ladakh belonging to the Sakyapa and is said to be one of the few which is seeing an increase of monks in recent years.
Most of the buildings are rather dilapidated but there is a new assembly hall or du-khang which was built in 2005 and which has very colourful paintings and a Sakyamuni Buddha as main statue. There is a small chapel on the top story containing images of Sakya Pandita and other Sakya lamas. There is a 'museum' adjoining it with a number of very beautiful old thangkas, some of which are thought to have been brought from Tibet in the first half of the 15th century when the monastery was founded.
And now something serious and culturally very much Norman. The people of Normandy are mainly VERY Catholic and conservative. Some are of course the opposite. But the Catholicism goes really strong. And in all the years I lived there I often saw places that were still used by pilgrims. In former years pilgrims used to attach ribbons to statues and sometimes to wayside crosses. This was of course not practised as much as in the 19th century for example. Some pilgrims placed small notes with prayers or pleas under statues of the saints they worshipped. This time .. when I went into the village church of Le Bec-Hellouin, there were loads of notes under several statues. That's not because of Covid. Covid wasn't bothering the people as much. It's because of the war, I guess. So lets hope the pleas and prayers will work.

It is only in prayer that I can live such a life so that every word of God be fulfilled in me.
Andrew Murray and Barbour Publishing, 199 Treasures of Wisdom on Talking with God (Uhrichsville, OH: Barbour, 2007).
A prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel (Tibetan: འཁོར་, Wylie: 'khor) on a spindle made from metal, wood, stone, leather or coarse cotton. Traditionally, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is written in Sanskrit on the outside of the wheel. Also sometimes depicted are Dakinis, Protectors and very often the 8 auspicious symbols Ashtamangala. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition based on the lineage texts regarding prayer wheels, spinning such a wheel will have much the same meritorious effect as orally reciting the prayers.

Last Monday we got a phone call at 5.15am from my brother in law to say that my mother had had a heart attack and that her survival was 50/50. We immediately drove to Weston Super Mare hospital and spent all day there, along with my sister. She spent most of the day on the critical list. But by the afternoon she was chatting away through the ventilator which was helping her breathe and clearing the fluid which was on her lungs. By Wednesday she was sitting up in bed and although the ventilator has been removed she is still being fed oxygen through tubes in her nose. It is early days yet but so far so good.
I am not a religious person and neither is my mother, but Kaiser decided to say a prayer or two:-)
Happy Furry Friday everyone
Have a healthy weekend x
Same lighting set up as before.
If you don't want to go back, it's a 285 into silver umbrella camera left, 430ex camera right. For the reprocessing, I toned down the burning on his hand.
