The Oregon Cascade mountains became my muse in August of 2021. I fell in love with these peaks in ways I could never have imagined before starting the project. These specific 5 mountain peaks are located outside of Bend Oregon and their position on the flags represents how one could see them lined up from south to north if you were in Bend looking west.
Here are the prayers:
May we be grounded, serene and
solid in the face of adversity.
May we stand in peaceful communion
with our neighbors.
May we be consistent, reliable
and steadfast.
May our beauty and grace inspire
peace and tranquility.
May we have our head in the clouds
and remain firmly rooted
simultaneously.
May we inspire others to reach for
their highest goals.
May we be still and let the winds of
change sculpt us into pinnacles
of beauty.
May we rise above current
circumstances to seek a fresh
perspective.
May we be patient and calm and
allow change to happen
in its own season.
May others feel freedom in our presence.
