My old friend/high school love is very ill. A deadly combination of infections has his life in great danger. We can all only pray that he will be all right, but he will never be the same, regardless.
I'm going to be in great danger of being all sentimental and stuff. I can only hope that my Elf will understand.

Celtic Prayer Beads
I was reading a bead newletter I get and came across this concept http://www.anamcaradallas.org/Celtic_Prayer_Beads.htm. I had never heard of such a thing, so I went to Google and found this site about Pagan prayers http://northernway.org/school/onw/prayers.html. And lo and behold I found reference to our friend Mike Nichols and one of his lovely poems/prayers.
We should play internet based 6 degrees of Mike Nichols. :-)
It seems to be a New Age-NeoPagan-Xtian crossover thing. I think the concept is lovely, but most likely not actually authentic, but what NeoPagan thing is, right? I think I could use the idea to add to my desire to create spiritually themed jewelry and there is at least one festival I attend that it would probably go over well at, but I stuggle with the idea of creating tools for religious concepts I don't follow. Although as a worry-bead chain, it could work... I would have problem trying to pass them off as some sort of authentic Celtic religious concept.
