PRAYER IN CELEBRATION OF BARACK OBAMA AS PRESIDENT ELECT

Greetings and Blessings, I have just received the gift of a new YOUTube Video of the Prayer In Celebration of President-Elect Barack Obama.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc5g8fxv3KA This video which was created by Yubupa serves as another reminder of what happens when we come together in love, and allow space for others to share with us and expand our vision. I believe this is why we elected Senator Barack Obama. As an artist, the collaborative is very important to me and I marvel at my Soul Sisters Yubupa ( for her Videos) and Michelle Murray (and her students)at Miami-Dade Community College in Florida for their choreography of my poetry in dance and video. I would be honored if you would share Yubupa's In Celebration of President Barack Obama video far and wide. Thank you!

Prayer In Celebration of President-Elect Barack Obama,

44th President of the United States; his wife Michelle, his daughters

Malia and Sasha and All the People of the Earth=Heart.



Blessed Divine Spirit,



Right now we are filled with joy, and respect for each other.

Let our lives have new meaning.

Show us how to best do your work, to have patience,

and undying love for All..



Allow us new gratitude and fortitude

filled with courage and laced with strength

as we shepherd in this magnificent new era.



We have voted with our hearts open without fear.

Let us be exuberant in our hope,

ecstatic in our faith

and peaceful in our joy.



There is work to be done.

Our lives are wrought with challenges

but the world community joins us in this new time---

in our desires to heal and nurture our Human Collective.



We are awakening in love

One by one.

We are re-membering

our children and our seniors as special gifts.

The lens for our collective future is clear.

The message is Change.

We are being asked to return to love.



Love is another name for the energy of God.

It moves through each of us

with each breath we take.



Within this love are the seeds

of Grace and Understanding

that allows us to nurture our world gardens of peace.



It is a peace that comes first within our hearts

and is reflected to others.

It is a peace that allows us to take only our share,

to not be wasteful…

to be generous in Spirit, Action and deed.





This is how our Garden will flourish

and join with the forest, the ocean shore,

the city plains and hills, the country villages,

the mountains and valleys.



This is how we can move beyond war

and create a world with equanimity

where there is food, housing, healthcare,

economic stability

and new solutions to Earth’s conservation and Global warming,

while honoring our entire sentient family .



Let Us Join Together with President–Elect Barack Obama and say….

YES WE CAN!

And So It Is With Love!

A POEM DEDICATED TO PEACE

BY SAIKAT MONDAL - From his book "Dialogues With My Self"
* * * * * * * * *
Peace, thou God’s beloved Angel
When on Earth, will you forever reign?
Behind every newborn’s smile
You put all hope of lasting Peace;
And again all your hopes are dashed
As they grow up, only to run after cash.

When will this hypocrisy end?
Only then, can Peace on Earth descend.
Peace & prosperity goes hand in hand
Never do they both in one place stand
Like bees roaming from flower to flower
Peace & prosperity roams, distributing harmony & power.

Searching for Peace all over the world
But it dwells in our hearts, innermost shrine;
Clear the dust and let it shine.
We substitute wars to justify peace
But how many bloody wars ever peace restore
Enough. Enough bloodshed, Please no more.

A day will soon to mankind dawn
The day when all forms of hostility is gone
No bitterness, no fights
No nationality and religions too.
In unison, we all will sing from our heart
Peace, Peace, Peace is here to stay at last.

I know it’s a dream
That may never come true
But we must dream on
What else is there to do.
O Lord, Let Peace be still
Let it not be a flickering flame in gusty wind.
