because it is the right time.

right now is – most definitely – the right time for prayer flags.

we had one set – brand new from the high mountains in colorado – and it was time to hang them.

and so, the day after the election, after adding blue lights to the tree branch on our deck, we hung the prayer flags.

it is not the first set of prayer flags we have hung. we had another set in the same place – flags that – after much wind and snow and ice and rain – disintegrated into the wind, spreading our prayers far and wide. we have another set that used to hang by our littlehouse on island – those are inside in our sunroom now. and then, this set.

this set was waiting, it seemed. waiting for a moment in time when it seemed an imperative to continually have prayer lifted up, sent into the universe with fervor.

and this is the right time.

so here they are – stretched between the back corner of our house to our garage. here they are – in bright sunlight under a big sky unblocked by the overhang of trees. here they are – in the space that receives the windiest west winds. here they are – over our pathway to our driveway and our cars, under which we walk every day. here they are – for all to see.

here they are – asking for peace, for unity, for freedom, for democracy, for accountability, for compassion, for goodness, for an end to the cruelty and evil destruction of our nation.

here they are.

prayers.

in the wind.
