WEB OF LIFE: Sometimes when you are walking along they just appear, out of the mist...
I find prayer flags comforting, a nice connection between humans and mountains. I'm not Buddhist, I'm not anything really, I just believe in the web of life, simple as that. Religious doctrine doesn't float my boat the way science does but that wonderful feeling of connection to nature is what I strive for every day. Some days it just comes naturally, some days require more work, good stuff doesn't come easily. I am interested in theology in so much because of the way religion does dictate the lives of millions. If I was boss of the world there would be a manuscript, it would have a headline of "A healthy planet can only exist when there is flourishing wildlife." I really don't know much but I do know that and I'm hell bent on communicating it in whatever way, whatever language I need to use.
Aristotle said about language "...(it) isn't just for registering pleasure and pain. It's about declaring what is just and unjust, and distinguishing right from wrong" ... I don't know what he thought of prayer flags but I'm sure he was all for healthy human/wildlife connection.
