She looked almost like a grasshopper, had lost a leg and
bit of a cover. But she had to go, was bringing in the
laundry and she was resting on a shirt. As carefully as
i could, in leaf hopper time, much slower than
grasshopper or human, the critter was gently moved with
apologies to a nearby post. Laundry and day went on.
Another day, another load of laundry. This time the
unmistakably same leaf hopper flew on the line to watch
me hang clothes. We chatted and on to the next chore.
Even prayer flags get old. When they do, they get burned
with more prayers. Out with this chore and who should
fly over to keep me company? The same leaf hopper. What
a gift she is.

wow...thanks!
I'm glad the sassy lizard I met on my front porch yesterday was a
far piece away from your clothes line.

What do you think she was saying?
I read the post that "insect biomass was down as much as
80%" with deep sorrow.

Thank you for sharing, Mitra, I love your story, and
the beauty of how you received all you experienced...
These precious visitations and synchronicities, often
delightfully mysterious, feed our souls like nothing
else, yes? ~!!!~
Tiny sync here w/me as just this morning I took down
aging prayer flags I'd hung on the balcony this past
spring, from a prompt to burn them this time just as
you do before replacing them... ;-> On a couple
occasions during my years here, I've brought prayer
flags I'd hung that were just beginning to fade/come
apart from the huge Sun/wind factor they're exposed
to, where I live, to the grounds of the Amitabha
Peace Park Stupa in Sedona, and tied them to trees I
felt led toward, to continue offering prayers and
returning to the Earth from which they were made, in
that way...
Only just this time, did I feel prompted to burn them
as you've mentioned, which I'll do as Samhain timing
dials in more tightly...
Thank you again Mitra... ;)

Its good to know the winds bring prayers!
Thank you.
Truly, sychronicities feed our souls. One of the greatest
gifts of nature is watching or being part of species
interactions. Truly a step closer to all that is is
hidden in those moments of play.

According to the Foundation of the Preservation of the
Mahayana Tradition, the 25th is a good day to hang prayer
flags, although they schedule from an Indian time zone,
so its off a few hours from ours.
