We took a trip today to the Meiji Shrine with a friend of mine who I met the first time in college (we then worked together in NYC). While at the shrine we came across prayer cards posted by different people who had visited the shrine. Some I can read, others I can not but the wishes, hopes and prayers posted there moved me…and now I will share with you as those who left the little tablets shared with me. Some are serious and deeply personal others speak volumes about what children see in the world..enjoy.
