I love the symbolism, the colors and the tradition. I will search for some antique fabric, preferably Native American or Mexican to make my flags. Strung across my patio, I will pray, when blown by the wind, that they spread good will and compassion.
The flags made me focus on my last week of unpacking, adjusting to city life...acclimating.
settling -
a tad overwhelming
decisions implore me
to find solutions
is it truly needed
or a mere want
can I pare down
will my honesty to self
give direction
can I be patient with self
to find joy in each moment
each decision
each emptied box
each space revealed
take heart I say
joy comes in the morning
...and once my prayer flags fly...I will seek to spread good will and compassion.
