a Thanksgiving prayer. . .
Calling upon the forces of all of creation, and with reverence for universal laws, and with great love, we ask for guidance, wisdom, insight, humility, clarity, compassion, and humor, on this day, and from each and every day to come. We give thanks for the many blessings bestowed upon our lives and ask for assistance in becoming far better stewards of those many blessings.

We ask for enlightenment for those misguided souls who operate under the antiquated ruse that a lasting power can ever be achieved through means of violence or deception. Or that it can do anything other than result in perpetuation of multitudinous retributions, and that those souls who refuse to accept this universal truth be stripped of their authority and power.

We ask that that those who hoard more wealth than they could ever possibly spend, be infused with an unprecedented generosity and thereby balance the acute disparity between the wealthy and the poor, and also re-empower the middle class. "May we co-create hope and restore dignity to those who fell to the bottom, the sick and the forgotten, and establish a true global community in balance and harmony"...

May we manifest true expressions of justice in complete accordance with universal law. May we be represented by leadership that is capable of the ability to operate with integrity, diplomacy, compromise, honesty, peaceful intentions, ethical behaviors, being ever mindful of the greater good for ALL. May we demand and co create with spirit the absolute eradication of violence, torture, and blatant avarice from this once and soon to be again blessed sphere.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

(thanks to cass and rumpel for the assistance in refining this prayer)
