108 Walking Prayers #5

DSCN6019webThe 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.

Raindrops dripping prayers of hope.
My hot breath in tune with my feet.

Right Foot…

Breath…

Left Foot…

Breath…

Prayer Beads keeping me focus…

My eyes taking in the beauty…

A pile of stones marks a fork in my life’s path.
I see before me the tree that marked me leaving…
The remembrance of your cry makes my heart sad.

I stop and pay homage to our path and where we are now.

I am grateful.
I am sorry.

A prayer of self-forgiveness is next.

I return back to the moment.
I am where I need to be.
You are where you need to be.
We are where we are suppose to be.

Right Foot…

Left Foot…

Breath…

Raindrops ripple chants of freedom.

The spider web shares its secret.

The city is so grand…

Bench awaits my presence…
And I breathe thankfully…

May we all be happy.
