My daily prayer practice of late has been to read my sacred scripture, read the news, and to picturefy it. Find an appropriate picture to go with prayer concerns raised and find an appropriate piece of scripture. I hope you enjoy today's offering and join me in prayer for the world. It is also an opportunity to raise up your voice and join the group 100 Thousand Poets for Change by creating your own creative offering and posting a link here. This online effort is led by Beguine Again and The Bardo Group. Let's come together and be a fission for change!
