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.

Nice, Jude.
I was stumbling through Benny's World 's archives today and found this post.
So Who are our Patriots?
Seems to me you captured the real ones in your video.
Nice change of pace.
I love it, Jude!:)
