Each Friday, someone from our team at work shares something inspirational.  Last week, Jeff, who spends most of his time away from work as a photographer and pacific northwest outdoor adventure enthusiast, had us each write intentions on prayer flags which when hung at High Camp, on the top of Mt. Adams at 8,700ft.

Here are some images of those good wishes being carried into the wind, from their camp among the clouds…know that many of you – both friends and strangers – were among them.  Click on them to enlarge.

“There are few things more beautiful than colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind- sometimes waving gently, sometimes raging; a dance of shadow and light. There is perhaps no simpler way to create good merit in this troubled world of ours than to put prayer flags up for the benefit of other living beings. Prayer flags are not just pretty pieces of colored cloth with funny writing on them. The ancient Buddhist prayers, mantras and powerful symbols displayed on them produce a spiritual vibration that is activated and carried by the wind across the countryside. All beings that are touched by the wind are uplifted and a little happier. The silent prayers are blessings spoken on the breath of nature. Just as a drop of water can permeate the ocean, prayers dissolved in the wind extend to fill all of space. By placing prayer flags outdoors their sacred mantras are imprinted on the wind, generating peace and good wishes.”  Timothy Clark
