“I believe in the efficacy of prayer and I have a deep and sorrowful sympathy for one who is without faith. I believe our Father answers every prayer-all prayers-with His matchless, inscrutable wisdom, with infinite compassion and with love.”

The Meaning of Tefillin
Mitzvahs are commandments, but the word mitzvah also comes from the root tzavta, which means “connection.” A mitzvah creates a bond between G‑d who commands and man who performs. In a sense, that makes tefillin the ultimate mitzvah. We’re commanded to literally bind ourselves to the one and only G‑d.

My mom treated me to an amazing prayer flag making workshop up at Idyllwild Arts campus, taught by visiting artist Karen Michele. It was a beautiful July day of creating under the pines...a deer even stopped by for a visit (too bad I missed her)!
The theme was Tibetan inspired with the thought being that the wind will carry the intentions of the writings or imagery on the flags out into the world to benefit all living beings. In Tibetan culture, there are 5 flags, each with its own color/element. The parenthesis are my own wishes/intentions inspired by the element:
BLUE = SPACE (happiness)
WHITE = AIR (silliness)
RED = FIRE (transformation)
GREEN = WATER (compassion/peace)
YELLOW = EARTH (grounded/our roots)
I will be hanging these outside to fulfill their true purpose!

While capturing the activities at Sangam in Allahabad, I chanced upon this priest who had come there for his morning prayers. He took quite some time to prepare himself for the prayers (a dip in the river, preparing the paste to apply to his forehead etc ). He seemed to be at peace with himself and this showed on his face. He seemed to be a regular visitor there as I saw him quite a few times during my visit to Sangam. In the background you can see the magnificent Allahabad Fort which was constructed by emperor Akbar.
I am back from another hectic business trip and I am looking forward visiting your wonderful photo streams.
My Allahabad set.
Wishing you all great weekend!
