Prayers in the sun on the sanctuary (photo by Regina Kretschmer)
In September, I put out a call for prayer flags to hang on the Ring of Protection, the new security fence, so it won’t look as much like a sanctuary gulag, as my brother calls it (there’s an oxymoron!). I am eternally grateful for the fence protecting the animals from predators so completely. I don’t have to worry at all at night with them safely in the Ring of Protection.

Now the fence is protecting them beautifully as well as safely, with the prayer flags people sent flying in the breeze and sending out to the world their many prayers for animals and all beings.
Merlion, Perseus, and prayers
I love seeing the reminders of the people behind the sanctuary. Their caring energy is flying with the prayers as well. A million thanks!
May all beings live free
The flag on the left, “May all beings live free,” is the centerpiece of Judy Carman’s Prayer Flags for Animals Project. These flags are flying all over the world (click here for a beautiful video of some of the places), and now gracing the Ring of Protection. I’m glad to be part of this project, additionally because Judy is the author of the powerful books The Missing Peace: The Hidden Power of Our Kinship with Animals and Peace to All Beings: Veggie Soup for the Chicken’s Soul.
