108 Walking Prayers #2
The 108 Walking Prayers Project, is about intention and practice. There are a total of 1o8 beads on my prayer necklace. I use my beads as a tool to repeatedly chant my prayers. When each prayer has come to the 108th bead, I stop and pay homage to where my prayer had come to an end. A photograph documents each prayer. It is quite simple, yet very hard. Then from there I allow the chants to transform into a poem. I hope you enjoy what I have to share.
A journey has begun.
A moment already lived.
A chant already said.
Lips blowing kisses…
Singing lullabies.
Chanting self-forgiveness like a broken record.
A mighty bird looked at me when I finished the last prayer for the broken hearted.
A bee buzzed by me
And reminded me of your smile.
An old lonely stump welcomed me to rest my feet.
Silent memories came to me while I rested.
The ocean is God!
An angle is waiting for me…
Four-legged companion makes his mark in the sand…
Flower pedals tell me their story…
I am walking on Mellow Street…
Right foot, left foot…
Marching prayers.
Muddy puddles splashed songs of darkness.
I look up to heaven and I smile.
I wish I could fly…
Prayer Flags dance silently like a deaf song.
“We need all the arms we can get”
I wonder when my own shadow will embrace me?
Left foot, Right Foot.
Beads streaming between my fingers.
Embracing them like a blind man reading brail.
May all beings be free from suffering…
May we all find joy…
And I breathe…
The march has come to an end.
