In Celebration of the Believers and Peacemakers:

In Celebration of the Believers and Peacemakers:

My 2013 Inaugural Prayer for the World

Beloveds---

I Breathe Deeply Ten Times.

With each breath my mind and heart

become aligned with thoughts of peace.

I stand with the Believers, and Peacemakers. 

 

Some are known and celebrated,

others have been forgotten in Time.

I Breathe deeply and remembering the names,

I pray that President Barack Obama will stand

with All his Nobel Prize brothers and sisters

and use his influence as a strong voice

to help ignite the Heart of Peace

so that there may be less suffering

in the United States and the world.

I Breathe.

Honoring every unsung hero throughout time,

I pray that Every Child may dream a Good dream,

and have it realized in Love.

The way forward for the United States

lies the difficulty of facing economic,

educational and the social inequality

perpetuated by racism.

We must support President Barack Obama.

Today we ALL must heed the Call

for strong environmental and social justice programs

designed to promote economic stability

and educational excellence

and honor religious freedom and the diversity of cultures

as well as to eleviate poverty, violence and war world-wide.

I Breathe Deeply.

Today, I open my heart to support

with my thoughts, words and actions

the Dream of a Peaceful, Loving World

where All walk with dignity and are respected

as Children who prosper in the Knowingness

of LOVE!
