This is all my spirit needs............

May Respect crowd out the weed of Violence
and Community spring from the ashes of Isolation.
May the stories of our grandmothers and grandfathers
once again nourish the growing souls of our children.


May we see the Divine in one another and in nature
that the Earth may be healed and all her children
have an abundance of food, freedom, and loving-kindness
as we give willingly and with heartfelt joy to one another.


May the music of shared laughter replace cries of suffering
as the Great Tree of Peace takes root in every heart.
May we offer a renewed and resurrected World
to the Creator with infinite gratitude and thanksgiving.
