Walking the Walk
Let’s take this moment to invoke the Presence of Spirit.
Its goodness, its light, and its atmosphere of peace.
There is only one mind, one Source, and one life,
And that is life as a Spiritual Being, as a loving Being.
I affirm that we all come from this one Source.
We are inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.
I now speak my word for myself and for all.
As I align myself with Spirit’s power.
I stand firm at times of challenge and controversy.
I seek to eliminate poverty, child poverty, low wages, and lack of access to health care, lack of environmental protection, lack of immigrant and LBGTQ protection, and against voter suppression.
I seek to reverse legislation that is harmful to the poor, the elderly, the sick, and the disenfranchised.
I honor Moral Mondays that promise the American dream for those too frequently overlooked or left behind and to improve the lives of all people.
I live to awaken the heart of a nation.
I see it as an issue of “Right vs Wrong” for labor rights, for women’s rights, for education, for helping people when they are unemployed.
I awaken hearts with the power of love, with the power of mercy and by fighting for justice for all in a Democracy.
I strive to change the national consciousness by changing my own consciousness.
I stand for justice, inclusion, love and breaking all chains that oppress.
I believe in the power of love.
So it is with a grateful heart that I express overwhelming thankfulness
For my own self-empowerment, for love, for kindness and for compassion in my life.
And so it is. Amen
