“Iran is a country that talks about, denies the Holocaust, promises to wipe out Israel, is engaged in terror throughout the world. This is a regime that is giving vent to the worst impulses that you see right now in the Middle East. They deny the rights of women, deny democracy, brutalize their own people, don’t give freedom of religion.”
-- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

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.
Iv'e been saving this one for quite a while, but today I called in at the Cathedral where this was taken in Wakefield to say a prayer for the thousands made homeless by the tragic earthquake in Haiti.
My heart goes out to all those who have lost loved ones in this tragedy.
Like myself please donate to the many charities that are co-ordinating aid to the people of Haiti.

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.

Unlike the Sant Vicenç Church located in Cardona Castle, the Sant Miquel Church is the church of merchants. Between the end of the 12th century and the beginning of the 14th century, work began to build a new church for the town in accordance with the new Gothic culture. The church was consecrated in 1397. The Sant Miquel Church has a central nave and two side ones. It is noted for the octagonal-shaped crypt where relics of the Holy Martyrs are kept; namely those of Sant Celdoni and Sant Ermentera.
