Black night cover me
In Holy Mother’s embrace.
All is Radiant.

The night critters are on the land and one of them is roaming near my home. Usually I do not hear them. This one (whoever/whatever he is) passes very near a living room window that is tall and narrow, so the bottom of the window is inches off the ground. Is he just curious, smelling the human? I cannot see him – I looked - but I hear him a bit on 2 sides of the house. Does he trust me, smelling ‘friend’? Does he fear me, smelling disconnect from the circle? What is the image, the impression he feels rolling off of me? I think he feels my peace as his own step and gait is peaceful, unhurried and unworried.
Many people of good heart and good intention, across the earth, are in prayer now. In the dark hours of night before the sun even considers rising in the east our family of heart is awake and in prayer.
Beloved Mother diminish the fear of those who pray through the night. With compassion, touch them. The night critters are watching us and listening to the thoughts and prayers we send out into the night. The hope for their survival and our own depends upon the quality and direction of our prayers. We are the stewards, given dominion.

Genesis 1:26 (KJV)
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

“There are people who depict their Creator as one who imperiously tests man with the smoke of ignorance and the fire of punishment, and who judges man’s actions with heartless scrutiny. They thus distort the true concept of God as a loving, compassionate Heavenly Father into a false image of one who is a strict, unsparing, and vengeful tyrant. But devotees who commune with God know it is foolish to think of Him otherwise than as the Compassionate Being who is the infinite receptacle of all love and goodness.

I HAVE A DREAM

He stood on the steps.

He called, "I have a dream."

Hope and Resistance was born.

Standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. Martin Luther King Junior changed the lives of countless millions. The future and hope for mankind was expanded on that day.  With gratitude for one who stood bravely in the crosshairs for the people of his time and for generations to come.

I was 13 years old living in a world lacking the richness of cultural diversity when Dr. King spoke the words, "I have a dream."  However, I had been blessed deeply in the man I was given as father. a man of good heart and good intention.  My Daddy had been raised on a farm in the South.  Born in 1898 he had seen and experienced much.  Through the years, Daddy had shared with me snippets of life in The South and the prejudice crossing into all aspects of life there.  One of my Father's dearest gifts to me was his sense of inclusive love and justice for ALL PEOPLE - indeed for ALL LIFE.  My father was one of the few men truly deserving to be called a gentle-man.  With gratitude to my father who first opened my heart, so I was able to deeply hear the words of Dr. King.
