Hunger Is Not a Disease

For the Brave and Diligent Shopper

Lord, this prayer is for the brave and diligent shopper.  She walks in.  And she never misses a week.

Lord, she is ferociously focused on getting to the pantry.

Looking neither left or right, dismissing the rain, or the cold, or the boiling heat, she makes her way each week through the crowded parking lot.

I pray for her grace, energy, and willpower.  I pray that someone or maybe several someones can witness and celebrate her discipline and focus.

And, I pray that others will notice her voyage each and every week. I don’t want to be the only one who sees her gracefully make her way through the crowded shoppers waiting outside the pantry for it to open.

Lord,  I know you sent her to lift our hearts:  patient, lovely, graceful.  She is our inspiration.

I think of her on shopping days when I drive to Albany for extra food.  She keeps my own work ethic steady.

And, she lifts my heart.

So, thank you again for sending her.

Amen

Winter Solstice Meditation – December 21, 2018

Find a quiet place where you can feel protected when you begin this Winter Solstice Meditation.

Calm yourself. Center yourself. Begin this Winter Solstice Meditation with a long, slow, breathing pattern as you breathe out negativity, problems, stress and breathe in peace, positive thoughts and beauty.

As you breathe in and breathe out for a few moments, you will become calmer and more grounded.

The Winter Solstice is a turning point of the year, a time of re-birth and a new beginning for all life on Planet Earth. This Winter Solstice turning point brings new energy.

May all life on Planet Earth use our new energy for peace.

May all life on Planet Earth use our new energy to know we are connected and to reclaim our awareness.

May all life on Planet Earth use our new energy to work together to deepen the understanding between every being and the natural world surrounding us.

May all life on Planet Earth use our new energy to foster mutual respect and work together focused on harmony.

May all life on Planet Earth be blessed with abundance and enough food.

May all life on Planet Earth be blessed with appropriate housing and be free from fear.

Sit quietly with this meditation and its energy for a few moments.

When you are ready to end this meditation, move your muscles gently as you return to your surroundings.

You may regain the energy of the re-birth of the Winter Solstice whenever you want.

Thank you for participating in this meditation.
