Show Us Your Shrine!

[Front-Ranger]

Do you have a shrine to BRokeback Mountain? I do! I'm gonna photograph it for here. But first, I'll describe it. It's simple. Just three things: a lodgepole pine cone, a rock, and a book. The pine cone comes from the top of Brokenback Mountain, and so does the rock. The book is Telegraph Days, by Larry McMurtry. It comes from the library in TenSleep.

I love to see the pine cone and rock together. The pine cone is all tawny and rough like Ennis. It also reminds me of Devil's Tower in Wyoming. The rock is all grey-blue, horizontal, and serene. It reminds me of Jack, and also of the grieving plain that stretches before Devil's Tower.

Tell us about your shrine, or show us. BetterMost yet, after you done told us, you're gonna show us!!

Aw, c'mon Eric, post it once again. We have a lot some new members who haven't seen it! Whadah I haveta do? Beg??

Here is my shrine. I want to see yours!



Oh, BTW, the book has a stamp that says "DISCARDED" on it, not DECEASED.

Lee, I think a Larry McMurtry book from the Ten Sleep library caries a kind of distinction.  Great shrine.  There's a Pinecone Motel near my house. 

I don't have one shrine - other than the world, where even some little word or breeze can remind me of what we have.  Barbara goadra got to see the same brown sweater that I wore with Lynne and Truman that makes me feel so Ennis-connected.

This is what my little shrine reminds me of, and it also reminds me of Devil's Tower, with the grieving plain stretching before it.

Have any of you BBQers added things to your shrine? Tell us about it!!

My entire apartment is a shrine to Brokeback Mountain. On permanent display on a lamp table in my living room are my much treasured copies of Annie Proulx's "Close Range" and also "Brokeback Mountain - Story to Screenplay."

Here on my desk (I'm looking at it as I write) is a framed copy of this iconic image:

On the bookcase in my living room is a framed copy of my favourite still from the movie:

In my kitchen is a copy of the theatre poster:

Yep, pretty much everywhere you look at my place, you'll see something to do with Brokeback Mountain. And that's just the way I like it.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I carry a copy of "Our Brokeback" (based on the Lord's Prayer) with me wherever I go, in my wallet:

Our Brokeback
Which art in Wyoming
Hallowed be thy icy Peaks
Thy Snow-Melt come
Thy will be done on Grand Teton
As it was in the Big Horn Mountains
Give us this day our daily Beans
And forgive us our four years in the Wilderness
As we forgive those who bear tire-irons against us
And lead us not into the Grieving Plain
But deliver us from Childress and Riverton
For thine is the Love between Cowboys
The Love between sweet Jack and Ennis
For ever and ever
Yee-Haw

These 3 pics are at my desk at work.  Once, when the movie first came out, a fellow employee stopped by my desk.  He got this amazed look on his face (it was easy to guess he was gay) "Is that Brokeback Mountain?"  then after a long pause, said, "Good for you." and walked off.
