a garden of wishes



i spent the past few days in gyeoungju, a lovely city on the southern coast of korea. while wandering about a beautiful buddhist monastery there, i came across a hundred tiny piles of stones, each symbolizing prayers and wishes - an entire garden of tangible hopes.

Little cairns!
These are gorgeous!

We will make many of these when you return.

also, this blog is sort of like a cairn--stacking stones upon stones signifying wishes.
