Since I believe in words and art more than anything, my little altars everywhere are collections of the works of Louise Erdrich, David Sedaris, and Marilynne Robinson. They comfort, inspire, and humor me… Love your blog. Thanks for the inspiration in words, thoughts, and pictures.

“visual prayers’…how insightful-sublime…

Mine one and only is positioned neatly in the corner of my bedroom…

As I stood over it mouthing a prayer yesterday it struck me how crowed it looked..

Like I had outgrown it, and need a larger more reflective one…

One, not two…. It never occurred to me to set another one, or two, or three…

laughing out loud..(thank you)

I was spring cleaning this past week and suddenly realized the prominence of religious items throughout my house — from little Buddhas on the windowsill to Mary, St. Theresa, and St. Joseph hanging out in the dining room, to Shiva and Ganesha in the bedroom.

I love thinking of them as “visual prayers.” That’s wonderful. I guess I’ve been doing more praying than I gave myself credit for.

Once again you have put “me” into words….I too have altars and symbols, indoors and out, mixing many religions and beliefs. They give me peace when my eyes fall upon them, something I crave in the chaos of my daily life. Thank you for describing it so eloquently…
