Bookmarks started somehow as markers for church books. So the priest could easily find the pages for the particular service. This one is probably from the 60ths for prayers books. The writing means something like: Pray, so that i do not fall in impugnment. 16 * 7 cm
the prayer room was in a beautiful old building, here you can see some of the stain glass as well as a part of the white tent, which was marked "holy of holies" the only area in the prayer room not covered with writing
On a clear day it is said that, anyone visiting the elevated chele La pass at 13,083 odd feet, can get splendid views of Mt. Jumolhari, Jichu Drake and adjoining peaks to the North West, as well as the view of Haa and Paro valley.
What interested me more, was the prayer flags soared higher than the peaks at a distance...

I heard there was a Buddhist mediation center in Gambrill State Park that had a gift shop and everything. I wanted to go there - just learn more, not really to go to the gift shop, haha. When I got there I saw all the prayer flags hanging around the center...but...it looked more like someone's house. I wonder if it's relocated...? Very strange...

Exploring prayer time, a short poem about approaching the Lord...
Today I visited Grace Cathedral in San Francisco for Evening Prayer. On Thursdays, like today's Evening Prayer, the time is a choral Prayer time. Two friends went with me, and as usual everyone who has gone with me has enjoyed the prayer experience, and certainly the music of the choral group.
In this short poem posted today, the reader will find one sense of prayer, for here I outline the self approaching the Lord. It is a known issue for Christians that we are thankful for Christ's life, for his redeeming mankind. At some point, this becomes personal to the extent that the inner man, the self, the part of a man or woman who has an essence, still an observing self made stronger through succumbing to the knowledge that the persecuted Christ, the Christ of the Cross is able to evoke for us the sense of self that we are sinners. We pray through God's grace. In prayer one is received.
The part of the identity of a man or woman that is human, individual and universal, yearns for the peace and forgiveness that is part of the Christ one gets to know.
We want to grasp this eternity, what is there for us we do grasp through humility and the gift of grace that there is an essential part that is reached. So I have written about some of the matter of experiencing belief and faith in the Lord Jesus and in the continuing love and faithfulness of God the Father in this poem, making that word "self" broader and hopefully a more imaginative self.

From Wikipedia...
"In public worship, intercession is offered as prayer for the world beyond the immediate vicinity and friendship networks of the church community. As such, intercession constitutes part of the worshipping community's engagement with otherness, as it expresses Christians' solidarity with those who are 'other' than themselves. In so doing, a church both appeals to, and seeks to embody, God's own love for the world."
