From Michele Bilyeu
My now completed garland of prayer flags waves across the
entry way in our home in Salem, Oregon. I feel their grace, their power, and
their love... every time I look up, or pass under them.
And I look in absolute and utter amazement at this KTSX news photo of a school
ceiling in Oklahoma. The signs of the horrific devastation of a tornado's path.
Tattered curtains and broken lights and a view of the heavens above. An
incredibly powerful image that evokes the feeling of prayer flags and
bells.
Prayers now released and finding their way across the 20
mile path of destruction. Beauty of spirit within chaos, loss, pain, and
destruction. And it reminds me of my own roots and why I am so drawn to these
signs, and symbols of something far greater than just the destruction.
I am reminded that after everything else is destroyed..there is still
goodness. and there is still great love.
