I've always loved Islamic prayer rugs, both the individual ones and the wall-to-wall rugs seen in mosques. Their colors and designs give me a sense of peace and well-being.
In Judaism, the Western Wall is venerated as the sole remnant of the Holy Temple. Prayer notes can be seen in the cracks.
Around New Year, people in Tokyo flock to Meiji-jingu; the countries largest shrine. Many leave prayers on pieces of paper or on small wood blocks like this.
I created this prayer flag for a good friend of mine whose eldest daughter is heading off to college. The body of the butterfly is the word "emerging" as this is an incredible journey they're BOTH taking!

Taken in Xiahe, Gansu, China. These Tibetan prayer wheels lie along the 3km pilgrim circuit and there are over 1,200 of them!
Xiahe is a county in Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu, People's Republic of China. It is home to the famous Labrang Monastery, one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries outside of the Tibet Autonomous Region. The town is populated largely by ethnic Tibetans, and is situated at an altitude of 3,000m.

One can see prayer flags all around the country encrypted with scared Buddhist prayers. It is a Bhutanese tradition to erect prayer flags and is accepted belief that this process will purify oneself, wash away the sins and bring lots of good luck.
(By Dawa Choden)
A prayer flag is a colorful rectangular cloth, often found strung along mountain, valleys, ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas. Buddhism believes that Prayer flags are simple devices that, coupled with the natural energy of the wind, quietly
harmonize the environment, impartially increasing happiness and good fortune
among all living beings
Flags contain pretty pieces of colored cloth with including the ancient Buddhist prayers, mantras and powerful symbols. Buddhism believes that prayer flags produce a spiritual vibration that is activated and carried by the wind across the countryside.
The Tibetan word for prayer flag is Dar Cho. “Dar” means to increase life,
fortune, health and wealth. “Cho” means all sentient beings.
The silent prayers are blessings spoken on the breath of nature. Just as
a drop of water can permeate the ocean, prayers dissolved in the wind extend to fill all of space.
The prayer flag tradition has a long continuous history dating back to ancient
Tibet, China, Persia and India. The tradition has now reached the West and is
rapidly gaining popularity.
No cameras allowed inside, though photographing the prayer circle is okay. It is meant for meditation & reflection, not photo-ops.
Stones assembled near the start of the wall, resembling faces, eyes - a haunting image. Soon as I saw them a chill passed over me. Very powerful.
The wall is a tribute to Tom Hendrix's great-great-grandmother, a Yuchi who was born in what is now NW Alabama. She was removed int what became known as the Trail of Tears, but eventually walked back all the way from the Oklahoma territories. His wall was built one stone at a time, just as her journey was made one step at a time. And just like her journey, it winds, has high spots & low spots.
He has rocks from 127 States, countries & islands, including stones from the Arctic & Antarctic, the top of Everest, & the bottom of the ocean. I'm planning to send him some mahogany obsidian from Northeast California, maybe several others from my collection.
It has received recognition as a significant piece of environmental art. The wife of Alabama's Governor Bob Riley wanted to turn it into a tourist destination, but Mr Hendrix refused. That's not what the wall is about.
