Originally the basis of this image was an illuminari (chalk painting) that I created on the tarmac at a benefit for the Philharmonic in Auburn. The prayer is revised from a poem that I wrote in the Daily Napkin.
Some images and writings that I create sing to me differently on different occasions, and sometimes they always pluck the same heart strings over and over again, ringing true like a bell. Prayers for the earth and all living beings on her always ring true for me, so this is not a re-purposing of image or poem, but rather an enrichening.
Feel free to share it with anyone whose heart it will touch. I see us all holding hands to pray even through the little dancing electrons of our computer screens.
