In honor of one of my most spiritually connected friends, who is staying with me this weekend, I submit these Himalayan mani stones. Carved by monks with the mantra of Avalokiteśvara (Om Mani Padme Hum, hence the name) they are often built into walls or cairns at the entrances to villages or places of spiritual import, to honor the spirits of the place and as a way of connecting the inhabitants to their environment and their home. Mi amiga is looking for a new place to call home and is making large life changes tambien- may these stones and their meaning help guide her in some way; just remember- always pass them on the left!
