A Prayer of Thankfulness For All Who Assist With Oil Eco-cide

Prayer of Thankfulness

Creator, Grandmothers and Grandfathers
we humbly thank-you for all wisdom of guidance
to assist with repair of the oil gusher, a human
disaster greater than 40 days.

Creator, Grandmothers and Grandfathers
please bless all who assist with their
skills, knowledge, education, sweat and good hearts
to help all Brother and Sister beings.

Thank-you for giving them courage when bravery needed.
Thank-you for helping them to find laughter at bleakest times.
Thank-you for providing wisdom to use the technology we have.

Thank-you for all assistance of Divine Intervention
in these many, many hours of need.

We are imperfect beings,
accept our prayer for grace of your
merciful forgiveness and instruct
us please to live more wisely
and with more care about
what we think-feel we need.

Prayer For The Homeless

Rereading: Prayer For The Homeless, Written 12 December, Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadeloupe

@ August 1, 2010, I reread old(er) blog posts at random. December 2008 was a record, bone-chilling winter in YVR. On a lengthy transit ride I did witness the homeless. By ‘homeless’ I do not distinguish as ‘recent eviction’ or ‘by choice.’ Social activists labour to continuously highlight the fact that YVR has a homeless population in that shelter (affordable or physically built) is not available. Thus, when I returned ‘home’, I did so feeling a renewal of gratitude. Yet I wonder, if I were to be(come) evicted, what might happen to a retired school teacher who lives as shabby gentry?

This post was a first time I managed to locate a graphic (Microsoft Clipart Downloads) and add text. It seems aeons ago I was managing self-instruction to learn how to efficiently use all of the technological wonderment of software purchased @ about $150.00 (plus taxes, CAD).
