I have had my one shrine for about 30 years. Hard to believe I’ve had it that long. I have pictures of special people, candles, a bowl of rocks I have picked up over the years, and a vial of wheat that was harvested just after my uncle died. He had a wheat and soy bean farm and his son-in-law went to the mill to take little samples of it back for family members.
When my wife and I moved into a new apartment in December, I started a second shrine in the bedroom that currently pictures, a candle, and a large piece of rose quartz.
I am thinking about my third shrine, where to put it. Is it weird to put it on a window sill?
Greetings. My name is Patty Sundberg and I live in Towson, MD (Baltimore) with my wife and cat. Today I am grateful for being able to spend this day being quiet after a very full weekend. I have been a part of the OHP Sangha for a little over a month now. I was a member a few years ago for a short time when I didn’t really know what I was looking for but it feels very different this time. Like maybe I’m finally home.
As a retired librarian, I have a hard time naming three favorite books, but I’ll try. My very favorite book is Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet. I found the book the day after my best friend died and it changed me. I now re-read it every year on the anniversary of my friend’s death. Other’s are Original Blessing, by Matthew Fox, and The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle.
