A Place to Peacefully Pray and Meditate

This is a Time to Remember .........

those who are lost and in fear for loved ones
those who daily risk their own lives for our safety and rescue
that all people living in this country are Americans, and we all hurt right now
that the acts of a few, do NOT represent an entire race, nation or ethnicity
that hatred solves nothing
that Viet Vets may be especially touched by this tragedy
that denial will NOT help us as a nation, or as individuals
that our lives are woven together like the interlaces
that people under 35 have no experience with this kind of internal strife at all

This is a Time to Remember .........

we can give blood to local blood banks
we can offer support to those who need to talk and absorb this terrible thing
we can acknowledge our frustration without pointing fingers
we can treat our neighbors of ALL ethnicity with respect
we can pray, visualize and focus on healing and the softening of pain
we can be grateful for those who were not killed, but injured instead
we can begin to see all around us as sisters & brothers
we can focus on our similarities and not our differences

This is a Time to Remember .........

that all life is sacred and that every moment is precious
that America is a land of many, many different religions
that we each have a chance to react with compassion and kindness
that we must speak up for those who may be attacked, just for their ethnicity
that anything you do to volunteer in your community is a tribute to America

Where there is hate, may there be Love.
Where there is anger, may there be Wisdom.
Where there is sorrow, may there be Comfort.
Where there is injury, may there be Healing.
Where there is loss, may there be Renewal.

Blessed Be.
