I found this prayer on the motivational activist Starhawk’s blog. The context it was posted in there was entirely different. When I read it, I couldn’t help but think of what is happening in Japan right now. For all of the exhausted and suffering people there, I pray that love is somehow rising to their shores. Fo the Earth, what can we do but pray…..pray, respect and apologize.
Prayer For This Land
by Dana Lyons
Won’t you please hear my prayer for this land
Won’t you please hear my prayer for this land
And you know that I’m ready to do my part
I’m just standing by waiting for that wave to start
Only the moon can turn the tide
Only the moon can turn the tide
So I kneel and I pray at the ocean side
And I watch for that wave, that great green wave to rise
There’s a sparkle of hope in every eye
There’s a sparkle of hope in every eye
And when those eyes sparkle at the same time
That’s the time when that wave, that wave of love will rise.
Be Love, Kiki
