Spinning the blessing wheels. Filled with mantras expressing compassion and wisdom one makes a connection with the heart of one's own compassion and wisdom every time one reaches out with ones hand and mind and the prayers spin on their axis. In the ever so brief moment one connects, one remembers to care, one aligns with the wisdom of the Buddha.

The event, with Bishop David Walkowiak presiding, was hosted by the Grand Rapids Chapter of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians, and took place in the context of sung Evening Prayer, with a renewal of the musicians' commitment to service following the homily.

Here is the prayer shawl in progress. It is a checker/basket weave pattern that I am enjoying knitting. With each stitch in the three stitch repeat I chant "Maiden, Mother, Crone" Which means to me: Maiden of Light, Mother of Love, Crone of Wisdom. Near the middle most stitch (because it is an odd number of stitches) is my Infinite Healer Stone .
When I reach it I say a prayer of blessing that has come to me through meditation: "Powers that Be bless this shawl through me. May it provide comfort and warmth when it is sought in the coming healing months ahead for ****." I wanted a prayer that was "non-denominational" as while our beliefs are similar they are not the same.
