I love going there and really enjoy working with the Lithuanian people. I have often seen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/Holistic-Living\/2008\/09\/Exploring-Orbs.aspx\">spirit orbs<\/a> in the photographs taken there. It was interesting because I had read an article about them just before I had a chance to see them. Here are some pictures one of my students just sent me. <\/p>\n<p>They aren&#8217;t spots on the lens or fake. They are balls of energy, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/Holistic-Living\/2008\/09\/Exploring-Orbs.aspx\">spirit orbs<\/a> or perhaps angels. I am not sure what to call them. I just know when I open my mind and my heart to their presence, it is a reminder that there is more to see in this world than my mind can comprehend.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As with all of my Wordless Wednesday images, spend a few minutes quietly gazing at them, quiet your mind, open your heart, and allow yourself to feel the images.
