Prayer As I awaken each morning I am surprised and happy because I am still here, after 88 years. I talk to God or sometimes to Mother Nature, or to Creator of All Things. It’s all the same to me, but mostly to God because way back then it was only God. I give thanks for another day on this beautiful mysterious planet. Throughout the day I give thanks for many things as they happen. My day is filled with prayers. Before I go to sleep at night I give thanks for the past day. I ask for these people-killing wars to end and for the military to return home to loved ones and pray they can live a good healthy life regardless of the horrible memories of war. And please God may we not have future wars. I pray for our politicians, may they be more worthy of the title and position they hold. I pray for my grandson, my children and my husband, that they have good health, compassion and love for each other and all mankind. - Millie Yacoboni
Earth, water, fire, air, and space combine to make this food. Numberless beings gave their lives and labors that we may eat. May we be nourished, that we may nourish life. • Roshi Joan Halifax Upaya Zen Center
Silence. That is my prayer. Moments, fleeting mirth, A quiet mind and yet it moves. The sound of snowflakes Hitting the trees like a gentle drum, But only when it has been dampened by the enveloping clouds. The breaking of waves on a barren shore, The force of the sea, It is this that inspires me. God? Universe? Perhaps just a kinship with the Earth, Maybe worship and thanks As I breathe And I AM. -MKL-
i pray the rosary frequently and sometimes meditate on one person for each bead, asking for the best for them. i try to be in the presence of the holy spirit while doing this consciencely remembering an aspect of the life of christ reprsented in each decade, i pray for a realization of God's gifts and for a heart filled with true gratitude. And i am more grateful with each passing day. steve carpenter portland, oregon
At their first meeting in October 2004, the Grandmothers, shamans and medicine women, bonded deeply and discovered that despite their different languages and cultures, they all shared a common goal. This led to the formation of The International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. From then on, the Grandmothers decided to carry out their mission globally through visits to each of their home communities.
