For Jeanne. Thanks to my dear friend for a great conversation, and pushing me to release some angst I've had about sharing some of my work. I appreciate her perspective and wisdom!
This was taken at St. Michael’s Cemetery, which is located in the borough of Queens in New York City. Established in 1852, St. Michael’s is one of the oldest religious, nonprofit cemeteries in the New York City metropolitan area which is open to people of all faiths. I really love all the old statuary they have there. The statues all seem so peaceful and serene but also very sad. I think they seem to have a sort of quiet grace and dignity to them. There's something about this old statuary just seems to fascinate me!
My sister-in-law, Avona and her female Great Dane, Rosie, are inseparable. After a number of years with an incurable cough and discomfort, Avona was diagnosed with what they now know was a hereditary lung disease. Currently she is high up on the lung transplant list at Stanford Medical Center. Any prayers you can send her way would be greatly appreciated. Her spirits are strong and she and Rosie have plans for a full life together and perhaps a bigger car!

"Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD."
Psalm 25:4-7

Prayer time at Ahmedabad's Jama Masjid Mosque in the Old City.
This one is dedicated to my father who grew up in Ahmedabad.
Visiting a local church in Italy, I noticed a parishioner sitting in silent prayer. I sensed her peace and devotion amongst the symbols of her religion.

You saw me standing by the wall,
Corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun,
So you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go
Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
Feel the breeze deep on the inside,
Look you down into your well
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance
(Like all dreamers can't find another way)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day
Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after,
Save it till the morning after
Pretty looking road,
Try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise,
Melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand
But we can call it paradise
Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after

This wall of prayer wheels were at our hotel in Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan., We were at the very beautiful Druk Hotel and our rooms were really really pretty. As we progressed across the country the accommodation went from four star to maybe two star:-)
It is a prayer wheel in the street of Ladakhi village. A prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel installed 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. At the core of the cylinder is a "Life Tree" often made of wood or metal with certain mantras written on or wrapped around it. Many thousands (or in the case of larger prayer wheels, millions) of mantras are then wrapped around this life tree. The Mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is most commonly used, but other mantras may be used as well. 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.

Inside the Prayer wheels thousands of shlokas and Hymns are inscribed. Rotating these wheels is equivalent to reciting all of them. Can it get easier than this ?
Prayer in Islam, is worship of Allah the Almighty, Praising and Thanking Him, acknowledging His Sovereignty and committing oneself to obey and remember Him at all times. It is the central part of a way of life, which is based on submission to the Owner of all.
