Find a quiet place, be quite in it:

Imagine your heart pumping
Energy, from feet to head
As you inhale each breath.

Let the life force flow,
Back to ground on each exhale
Send messages to earth,
Let time stand perfect still..

Employ your hands as vessel cups,
Then curve your arms in circle shape,
As if the distant anguished one
Was there with you, to share embrace,
And in that grasp, hold on to peace
Transport the person to safe place,
Carry them within your wings,
Unburden them with touch by joy.

You might hear music (your heart)
Playing a Divine orchestration,
And your voice may raise to sing
Without intent or instruction,
As your prayers on breaths emit-
Particulates, atomic quick dispersing
Prayers that world wise spread,
Across the miles to heal the one
Distressed and at a distance.

Pray the highest spirit take
(Over) both your human lives,
Ask for creations intervention...

Amen.

Beautiful read my friend, your words said it all.

Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things,
man will not himself find peace."

Dear Ice,

Yes, true prayer knows no boundaries.  The Master told about a person who went to the temple to pray.  He prayed to "himself."  That is as far as it got. Thanks for your beautiful words.

Inspiring picture. Thank you for sharing from your heart.

To watch and pray knows no bounds.  Vigilance, through the cold dark night of separation, is the key…
