The prayer chapel at Iona Abbey on the Isle of Iona, Scotland. Iona is just off the island of Mull in the inner Hebrides, and is where St. Columba founded this outpost of Christianity in 563 a.d. Many people make a pilgrimage here to leave prayer requests. The original abbey was repeatedly pillaged by the Vikings and the new one stands on the same site. Macbeth and other Scottish royalty are buried here.
Prayer tiles in the courtyard of the halls below the White Pagoda, Beijing. I believe that the tiles are wooden.

Well, tomorrow I'm going in for surgery. And yesterday I took a walk in a gray dinghy Crabtree, right after the morning drops. And so I didn't expect my pictures to be that great. But after spicing this one up a little, I realized that each one of those little "lights" is like a prayer. So many people have said they would pray for me. I feel so much stronger going into this with all that good energy. And it made me realize how connected we all are, just like all those drops on the branches. Connected and entertwined, with good people, annoying people, and just people! But altogether on the same branch anyway.
March 16, 2011 (Nippon no tame ni inoru 日本のために祈る) Prayers for Japan and all the people touched by this tragedy. A lot of my figures are Japanese figures and I wanted to do a shot with all of them, but nothing was appealing to me except this one. 75:365 @sharkbayte

These are the prayer wheels that line the outside of the Buddhist Stupas in Nepal. They have the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum written on them. These ones are from the Swayambhunath Stupa.
Hear our prayers. I am sorry I have been absent from flickr the past couple of days. My sister is still in ICU, sedated and ventilated. She is doing better...keeping her pressures up on her own and breathing more and more on her own. Trying to get her strong enough and clear her lungs enough to wean her completely from the ventilator and then to allow her to make her own decision as to have the double/triple bypass or not. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts. Please keep our friends, Roofer 1, Kraig and Sylkar's sister in your prayers as well. You all are just the best and these are for all of you!! Hugs, my friends. I will try to visit as soon as I can.

This morning we received a call from my brother-in-law. My niece, Kenadie, has been having a major seizure. So far it has lasted more than an hour and she has been life-flighted to a major hospital. The plea is simple: Please, if you can spare a moment say a prayer for my niece. She will be three on the 19th.

I found this while going through some notebooks (looking for some Mogwai related relics). I've obviously had it for a very long time... the paper's a bit yellowish... probably had it since the early 80s I reckon. I've no idea who did this nor of which magazine I found it in.
Evening prayer in Aqaba mosque. I got a very thorough tour of the mosque and had a chance to actually attend the ending of the prayer.
Each person in church this morning was given a coloured label and invited to write the name of someone they wished to pray for and hang it on this tree. This is before the service started - there were well over a hundred later. We were particularly asked to think of those who do not know Christ

Those of you who have been along for the ride over the past couple of years recognize dear, sweet Heidi, a feral cat I trapped at work. Heidi had her brood out on the foster family's farm. We found homes for them then prayed about what to do with Heidi. She very clearly did NOT want to be indoors. Thankfully, when we let Heidi go, she chose to hang around the farm. And, bit by bit, she has been shedding her feral ways.
Well, Heidi desperately needs your prayers today. The family was gone for the holidays--someone was visiting and feeding their animals--and today Heidi showed up on their doorstep with a horrble wound.
Heidi knows she needs help, and she knew enough to seek human care. Granted, she bit my finger when I tried to put a pain pill down her throat, but Heidi right now accepts all scritches and loving she can get. I did switch to a liquid pain medication which she successfully took. Amazing how her feral tendencies have all but disappeared now that she knows she needs help. What an incredibly smart girl to seek out care from humans.
Thankfully the area does not appear to be infected. Muscle is clearly visible, and a hunk is missing. The fur and matted material across the spine may very well be protecting that vulnerable area. We will wait till she gets veterinarian care to disrupt that matted area. No cleaning will be done in my home.
The dad out on the farm believes a hawk did this. Or maybe a coyote? We haven't seen any out there, but we know they are south of the area. I don't know. I just know that this dear sweet girl needs help.
I am posting a couple of photos of the wound in the comments, avoiding the more gruesome photos. Clickable if interested.
Poor, dear Heidi welcomes your prayers.

Three years ago, I happened upon this scene while hiking along the Elwha River in the Olympics. We ended up setting up our camp nearby and I kept coming back to this snag of wood. Finally, I said a prayer for our good fortune of being in nature.
This was the first sign for me of how being in nature fulfills a need for me. That need is spiritual I think. My peace and gratitude with our creator may be found in the forests, on the mountains, near the ocean, along streams and rivers, in the rain, the wind and the sun.
This peacefulness I feel while being in solitude with dear friends and loved ones keeps my head clear.
Hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas :)
