"American Prayer" is not one of U2's better-known songs, but after reading the lyrics and grasping what the song is about, it seemed inspiring.
Bono wrote this song as a call to America's churches to do something (ironically, something besides just praying) about the global AIDS crisis. This is the version as performed by Bono, The Edge, Dave Stewart, and Beyonce Knowles
Alright, yeah, wow
This is a tune Beyonce and us have been working on
It's funny how religious people are sometimes the most judgemental
And anyway, this is a song we wrote it's called American Prayer
It could be anything, Irish Prayer, could be African Prayer
It's just a message to the churches that we really need you
To open your door and give sanctuary and break the stigmatization
That goes with being HIV positive
If God loves you, what's the problem?
And this is the time to finish what we started
And this is no time to dream
This is the room
We can turn off the dark tonight
Maybe then we might see
I wanna know the healing of American Prayer
I wanna know the meaning of American Prayer
I want to believe in American Prayer
But I can hear children screaming American Prayer
This is the ground
That keeps our feet from getting wet
And this is the sky over our head
Remember that, what you see depends on where you stand
And how you jump will tell you where you're gonna land
I wanna know the healing of American Prayer
I wanna know the meaning of American Prayer
I want to believe in American Prayer
But I can hear children screaming American Prayer
Hold on, let's not get tired / Hold on, no no no
Don't kick at the darkness
Make the lights brighter
An African Prayer
This is our African Prayer
I wanna know the healing of an African Prayer
I wanna know the meaning of an African Prayer
I want to believe in an African Prayer
But I can hear children screaming African Prayer
As an aside, thanks to d.rex for giving us this assignment. It really moved me. I will certainly be taking this cause to my church.
Composition: The flag quilt and cross were chosen for obvious reasons; the carousel horse represents the millions of children who have lost their lives or had their families shattered by AIDS; the angel represents hope and is placed outside the auxiliary lighting to represent the hope for healing and compassion which is present but unseen.
Fluorescent lights in a basement; no flash used. A hand-held flashlight was used for auxiliary lighting. Post-processing was limited to a crop, Grey World color balance to correct the orange glow created by compact fluorescent bulbs, and a Curves adjustment to darken shadow areas and bring forward some of the highlights.
What I like about the picture: The glow on the cross and the intensity of light on the horse.
What I don't like: Not much, but if you look hard you can see my wife's shoes, which I didn't see when I was arranging the flag quilt.
It was getting dark as we arrived at our last Mandalay temple-stop of the day, but fortunately the rains held off. We positioned ourselves on the upper balcony of a modest monastery - who's name I don't know - and waited as a young monk struck a metal bong repeatedly with a heavy wooden striker. Quietly, walking barefoot, maroon-robed monks emerged from all directions, and lined up to enter the prayer hall, where they sat for meditation, chanting and prayers.

PRAYERS FOR PEACE-PARIS OCTOBER 2003 -for the NUIT BLANCHE art event in PARIS-
ADDA DADA lit candles and floated them down the CANAL ST. MARTIN. It was called PRAYERS FOR PEACE. About 250 candles floated in the CANAL, and about 5,000 people saw the event. It was reported in the Paris newspaper the next day!.....& the Minister of Culture for Paris wrote me a thank you card!
==============================
There was quite a crowd that gathered to see where the candles were coming from.

“We sit and talk, and kiss away the hours as chastely as the morning dews kiss flowers: I touch her, like my beads, with devout care, and come unto my courtship as my prayer.”

These prayer flags are from Mahakala, the cave I visited during my LEAPYear travels where Siddhartha, aka Buddha, meditated for 5 years in solitude before achieving Enlightenment (NB: capital E). Five years of solitude and meditation, living in a cave that I couldn't stretch out in, let alone stand up.
To summarize, dude was intense.
The whole idea of prayer flags is in fact a lesson in impermanence, a notion that doesn't sit real well with Westerners (generally speaking, that is). We get very caught up in the humdrum of materialism that is our everyday life. A man's worth is measured by his possessions and power. Who the hell came up with that idea, anyway? But a prayer flag is in fact worthless to possess; their value is the goodwill they 'release' as they tatter. That's why monasteries and mountain paths are covered in tattered remnants of prayer flags: they're like an offering, or, well, a prayer, for harmony and peace in the world. Energy is invested in them via the ritualistic creation process (we got to see that, too) and is released as the cloth gets destroyed. So to simply stock them up is kind of worthless.
An interesting notion, especially as this all came out of my incredible amount of satisfaction with my own new toy, my Canon 50D. Irony ftw?
By the way, if you haven't heard or taken the time, please take the next 10 seconds to spare a thought or a prayer for those suffering in Mumbai today.

These colourful flags reach to the top of the Buddhist Stupas. They contain Buddhist mantras as a prayer offering.
Kyzyl - capital of Tuva - Siberia - Russia
Kyzyl, the capital of Tuva.
Kyzyl, the center of Asia
This city is situated in the place where Biy-Khem (the Big Yenisey) and Ka-Khem ( the Small Yenisey) unite their waters and give a life to the great river Yenisey. The first sightseeing to visit here is the Geographical Centre of Asia. Built in 1964, the monument represents a big globe on which the contours of continents are marked. Tuva and Kyzyl are specially indicated.
Buddhism in Tuva exists in harmony with shaman beliefs.
Very important:
