My God (oh, let me call Thee mine,
Weak, wretched sinner though I be),
My trembling soul would fain be Thine;
My feeble faith still clings to Thee.
(from A prayer, Anne Bronte)
A man showed two of my friends how to pray properly, when we visited a mosque (and therefore wore head scarves).

Same day I visited jailoo was meeting celebration of ex-classmates of yurt owner. They took one sheep from flock to make beshbarmak - Kyrgyz dish for "special cases".
According to Muslim tradition they made prayer before slaughter of animal.

Alchi is considered one of the most important cultural sites throughout the Himalayas --- the Alchi monastery is prized for its well-preserved ancient frescos. But unlike all the others, Alchi isn't mountain-or-ridge perched, but delightfully set in small scale on the flat in village atmosphere.
By a narrow path leading to the chosker, the religious enclave, we arrive at a village square of whitewashed shrines bedecked with a ceiling of fluttering prayer-flags between the trees. Though the main temple, from the 12th C, was abandoned in perhaps the 15thC, here are the most historic fresco-murals in all Ladakh ---- they hark back to a time when Tibetan Buddhism, still looking to India for inspiration, was making its first inroads into the region. Alchi's murals preserve the artistic tradition of Buddhist northern India. Alchi is thus a survival from earlier past. The whitewashed shrines seem at first to be modest, with little to indicate the artistic wealth inside. There are a total of six temples to the group and three big chortens. Within the temples we also find the special symbolic mandala paintings that Alchi is also noted for. Meanwhile the devoted residents in their traditional garb, spin the many prayer-wheels again and again, while circulating the paths always clockwise. A delightful experience of past belief continuing today.
On coming into Alchi we had seen workers enjoying the rustling green-gold of the vital barley fields -- hand-cropped for essential winter food supplies. Again, quiet merging with friendly acceptance.

Today I learned that the Southeastern Synod of the ELCA overwhelmingly rejected an attempt to undo the 2009 policy change allowing GLBT pastors in a relationship to be members of the ELCA. These prayers were weaved during my pastor's time of trial in the ELCA.
You probably guessed it from the title, but this for a post on Christian laziness - God Doesn't Want You Passive.
