today, our one heart is heavy with loss… of life, of a way of life, of home… every day, so many natural disasters, so much tragic loss… today, i feel the need to virtually hold hands with all our relations, with the family of us… to feel the strength we are when we stand together, when we stand as one in the center of the wheel, in the center of the web of life… feeling, knowing when we come together the center will hold… thank you for sharing this moment, this very sacred moment of re-membering we are unconditional love, unchanging wisdom and uncompromising truth… thank you, source, great mystery, for breathing this ever flowing cosmic reality through every sentient being eternally… and now let us resound  the words of St Francis unceasingly…

Make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.
