every outbreath, an emptying… every inbreath, a re-membering…

with every breath and every step on the camino of peace today, a soul song from the source leading this pilgrimage flows – make me an instrument of thy peace, where there is hatred, let me sow love…

in addition to this beloved prayer of St Francis, patron of this pilgrimage, i am singing a song of peace of Jane Goodall…

We pray to the great Spiritual Power in which
we live and move and have our being.
We pray that we may at all times
keep our minds open to new ideas and shun dogma;
that we may grow in our understanding of the nature of all living beings
and our connectedness with the natural world;
that we may become ever more filled with
generosity of spirit and true compassion and love for all life;
that we may strive to heal the hurts that we have inflicted on nature
and control our greed for material things, knowing that
our actions are harming our natural world and the future of our children;
that we may value each and every human being
for who he is, for who she is,
reaching to the spirit that is within,
knowing the power of each individual to change the world.
