Saturday October 22, 2022 If you have visited the ranch you might have noticed Tibetan prayer flags gently flapping in the breeze in several places. They are even inside the barn. Why? Here is what prayers flags are used for: Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags do not carry prayers to gods, which is a common misconception; rather, the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space.
So if there is even a tiny possibly that that is true why not hang them all over? Is anything wrong with spreading positivity? Because I’m all over that! The ones in the middle of the girls’ pasture get blown almost constantly and I replace them as needed as I did just yesterday. To think that compassion and strength are being carried over my animals brings me such joy. The alpacas walk under them often and it’s just part of the landscape to them now. They also clearly let us know which way the wind is blowing. Happy Saturday!
