  2. I love this topic. When I was still mourning my mother’s untimely death, I had the opportunity to go to South Korea where I stayed in a hotel across the street from a Buddhist temple. Prayer cloths were hung on strings tied from tree to tree and they would blow gently in the wind. It was so comforting to me because I was told that they were placed there to honor their loved ones so they would never be lost from them. Thank you for sparking that lovely memory, TJ.

    1. I am very touched that you shared this special moment with me. There is something about these temples that can just fill you with a calmness. A quiet sense of connection that is sometimes lost in the big bustling churches of the west. I am so glad you found a little comfort at what must have been a very hard time. Best wishes! 🙂
