I’ve been thinking a lot about our home, this Earth, and was feeling a lot of fear for all the ways we are ruining the environment and killing all of her species off, and then it occurred to me that there is another way, there is another prayer.
So I let go of the fear and the worry about what I and others are doing in our unconscious states and each morning, I am imagining the change I wish to see.
Envisioning our planet healing... the carbon build up is instead decreasing, we are taking the right actions to create a much smaller, more sustainable footprint. Seeing new inventions that speed this process up. Seeing our temperatures stabilizing and ecosystems beginning to thrive again.
I see corporations either dissolving or taking responsibility for the mess they’ve helped create.
Instead of focusing on their bottom lines, they are focusing on what truly matters...LIFE in all it’s
forms.
I see people taking their power back and standing up for what they believe in instead of
cowering in the corner trying not to offend anyone.
I see communities coming together to solve problems and create understanding and a nurturing
environment. I see them opening lines of communication and opening arms for every race,
every gender, every religion, etc.
I see a world where each home is powered by renewable energy and has a beautiful garden
attached. Where people are conscious of what they put into their bodies and share the fruits of
their bounty with all their brothers and sisters.
I see people coming together , not pointing fingers at each other or blaming each other for our
predicament, but working together to find viable solutions that help ALL.
I see respect for all of life, not just humans, or a subset of humans, not just fluffy animals, but
bugs, reptiles, birds, etc. not just plants we like, but the “weeds” too. ALL of LIFE.
I see a place where sustainability isn’t a dirty word with “hippie and conspiracy” connotations,
but a celebrated and sought after concept to emulate and create.
I see a place where we come together, lay down our differences and see the value and
magnificence of each individual, the uniqueness that creates innovation and keeps our species
viable for generations to come.

Hear, O Humankind, the prayer of my heart
For are we not one, have we not one desire,
to heal our Mother Earth and bind her wounds
to hear again from dark forests and flashing rivers
the varied ever-changing Song of Creation?
O humankind, are we not all brothers and sisters,
are we not the grandchildren of the Great Mystery?
Do we not all want to love and be loved, to work
and play, to sing and dance together?
But we live with fear. Fear that is hate, fear
that is mistrust, envy, greed, vanity, fear that is
ambition, competition, aggression, fear that is
loneliness, anger, bitterness, cruelty... and yet,
fear is only twisted love, loved turned back on itself,
love that was denied, love that was rejected...
and love...
Love is life- creation, seed, and leaf
and blossom and fruit and seed, love is growth
and search and reach and touch and dance
Love is nurture and succor and feed and pleasure,
love is pleasuring ourselves pleasuring each other,
love is life believing in itself.
And life...
Life is the Sacred Mystery singing to itself, dancing
to its drum, telling tales, improvising, playing
and we are all that Spirit, our stories all
but one cosmic story that we are loved indeed,
that perfect love in me seeks the love in you,
and if our eyes could ever meet without fear
we would recognize each other and rejoice,
for love is life believing in itself.
