An offering of mandalas--healing circles--for Mother Earth who is in turmoil;
For our Earth--who is herself a mandala which keeps us whole--we honor its
White pineapple, a mandala, its essential self at the center.
We offer the wholeness and harmony of your spider web, a labyrinthian mandala.
Mother Earth, plase accept my humble mandala of your four directions on the wheel: north, south, east, west.
In its center, my sacred self.

Thanks, Elizabeth! I love the concept that all being is made up of circles within circles, and that we're more alike than we think. Your poem reminds that praying together in a circle really works. Love
ReplyDeleteWe connect in more ways than we could ever imagine and your prayers and mandalas here are beautiful reminders of this... thank you Margaret
ReplyDeleteJoining you in prayer and remembrance.

Margaret,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that I did not get to this on Sunday. This is incredibly beautiful. Such a sacred and numinous vision for the earth, for her children and for the unity of all people who care for her and for each other. I thank you for this beautiful piece of your lovely spirit.
xoxo,
Noelle
To Lea~ It is amazing the connections that exist among people and our earth. I built a native American prayer/healing wheel in my backyard (based on the ones they have in Sedona); there is a certain way of walking it based on phase of life = directions on the compass. Everytime I walk it, I will think of you walking your labyrinth 3,000 miles away. We can make Japan and the Japanese our prayer intention. In unity and love, Margaret
ReplyDeleteI light a candle with yours, Annie. I love your prayer intention list and join you in our circle of prayer for Japan. Love
ReplyDeleteSue, it is wonderful to see so many hearts come together. Our prayers and love reach out across the ocean at this time of great need and loss to our Japanese sisters and brothers. Thank you for introducing me to Ikebana--a sublime, tangible expression of prayer. Love
ReplyDeleteI think they are, too, Steph. It's amazing how powerful a circle of prayers is. Our solidarity in generating positive energy to Japan and the Japanese is absolutely beautful. love
ReplyDeleteHi Diana~ Yes, it's wonderful that we're all praying together for Japan. I think that when a communal prayer is generated, it is powerful and it works. Love
ReplyDeleteprayers.
ReplyDeletelovely message.

welcome to JP.
Hi Jingle~ Prayers, hope, blessings: I firmly believe they are being felt. I saw your post today: very heartfelt and eloquent poem. Sweet of you to offer awards to bloggers swept up in our community for Japan.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow; I signed up to follow you, too. Love and light, Margaret
Hi Stickup~ It's wonderful we've formed such a tremendous circle of prayer and positive energy for Japan. The person who started this prayer circle for Japan is Rebecca Brooks: I have posted her link above; just click on my last three underlined words, recuerda mi corazon. Her vision is truly amazing; you will love her spirit. Love, Margaret
ReplyDeleteRebecca, that is wonderful news. It will give them a ray of hope. Your grass roots movement is taking off like wildfire and I believe is really making a difference. It reminds me of the lyric line, "Hands across the water."
ReplyDeleteThank you, Noelle. Please don't worry if you can't respond to a post; I feel we are together in spirit always. It's so beautiful how we've all come together to generate goodwill for the people of Japan and that it's tangibly being felt (on the Japanese blog Rebecca noted above). We still need to feel gratitude for the ocean and the earth to help the healing. Remember your beautiful post about the heart of the earth at Thor's Well? Much love, me
ReplyDeleteThank you for your offering of the beautiful mandala with all 7 directions: North, South, East,West,Up to the sky,Down to Earth and inside your heart.
