thanks golfegg. I consider your comments high praise coming from an eloquent and insightful poster such as yourself. The concept of praying and giving thanks at the same time is common among many of the indigenous NorthAmerican tribes. I think it wld be wonderful if anyone who frequents this group wld try just 15 minutes a day feeling that all will be well with our world. Feeling the love and brotherhood that lies beneath the surface of this shadoworld that many of us find ourselves in today. Five minutes here and there in the shower or taking care of other mundane duties (dishes, laundry, the morning / evening commute) ... just an emotionally charged prayer which expresses the love and beauty of the earth within each of us as vibrant and full of life expressing ourselves as perfectly unique creatures of a living God.
and we are coming to the fullness of the moon. I have no doubt that the ionisphere is a contributing factor to this "field of energy" and since full moon "energizes" the ionisphere .... I think our prayers can be even more "powerful" in creating a world of love, freedom, and peace.
