This picture of the Tibetan Peace Flags continues to take my breath away. Each flag has printed prayers and other deities to dispel the obstacle of life. They are then strung from mountains to blow in the wind so the prayers can be carried. The colors represent the following:
yellow: earth; green: air and wind; red: fire; white: water; blue: space
This pictures shows me that even other cultures strive to live peacefully. Often times, much more peacefully than Americans. Write your thoughts/prayers/feelings down, submit them to the wind. Even if you don't believe in a higher power. I promise it WILL make you feel better! We often view "flags" as a means of "giving up," but this isn't the case. It's merely a symbol to show that we can be helped in ways unimaginable.
