i love this intention and often feel i would like to take the Middle Ages mystic, Meister Eckhart, up on his dictum of only whispering thank you with every breath and step, today is such a day… it is also the fortieth and final day of repeating the shabad 11 times, a practice i love as well and have put my whole heart into seeing justice flowing in a world of peace guided by love…

“When the earth is in distress, it attunes itself with love and sends out a prayer.

The True One hears it, and with total ease is pleased to give Its strength and steadiness.

It sends a command to the Power of Rain, and the rain pours down in torrents.

The wealth of grain and corn grows thick.

A person cannot describe its value.

Oh Naanak, appreciate the Divine Identity.

You, Divine One, cause the life-giving food to be given to all the creatures.

Eating this, peace grows, and the cycle of pain comes no more.”
