My daily blog of progressive politics, faith, photography, and my life in Upstate New York. "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you angry." - Aldous Huxley
by Maya Angelou
Father, Mother, God
Thank you for your presence
during the hard and mean days.
For then we have you to lean upon.
Thank you for your presence
during the bright and sunny days,
for then we can share that which we have
with those who have less.
And thank you for your presence
during the Holy Days, for then we are able
to celebrate you and our families
and our friends.
For those who have no voice,
we ask you to speak.
For those who feel unworthy,
we ask you to pour your love out
in waterfalls of tenderness.
For those who live in pain,
we ask you to bathe them in the river of your healing.
For those who are lonely, we ask
you to keep them company.
For those who are depressed,
we ask you to shower upon them
the light of hope.
Dear Creator, You, the borderless
sea of substance, we ask you to give to all the
world that which we need most--Peace.

Beautiful photos, especially the kitty. Also, the color of the sky on the one where the building says "Fuel Plaza Cars" is my favorite color. It haunts me, but in a positive way. I'm weird, I know.
Peace,

The Cafe Dharmas are hot and guests are cool!
dharmashanti,
Thanks! I'm still keeping busy here taking photographs of my journey and will be sharing more. The cat is a stray that I've befriended. She's sweet and I wish I could take her home with me. The color you mentioned is also one of my favorites.
