I especially resonated with thinking of all those who impact our lives that we may not always hold in awareness: all those who have gone before us to pave the pathway so that we may live more fully in our present time. Also to all those presently who impact us on a daily basis: from every one instrumental in the process so we could enjoy a cup of tea in the morning. It is valuable to pause and send up a prayer honoring them all. I also loved the part about compassion for those who have caused us suffering and to realize anyone who causes suffering has been or is in pain themselves. Pondering the personal impact of prayer: thinking about recently how Ive been offering prayers to Trump those who are so hurting and in such suffering that they have followed his rhetoric. I remain hopeful that somehow with all the racism, xenophobia uncovered that we may heal the divide that has grown so deep and that we all seek to understand and hold more compassion for each other. In the end whatever our beliefs, we are all human beings. no one is born as someone who hurts another and so it is up to each of us to be kind and send up the 5 prayers as suggested.
