I was on the phone talking to my mother and she said a plane just crashed into a building and I said are you watching a movie??? She cried no turn on your tv;My God they just hit the world trad center . I saw the second one hit and my mother and I both prayed to dear god.
I would like to offer this from the website of spiritlands as it is a Native American Prayer that the author is unknownThis native American Indian prayer seems most fitting for today. I offer it as my souls gift to all that were affected on every level by the events that happened on september 11, 2001. BrothersHeart
So how do you sit with a shattered soul? Gently,with gracious and deep respect. Patiently ,for time stands still for the shattered, and the momentum of healing will be slow at first. With the tender strength that comes from an openess to your own deepest wounding, and to your own deepest healing. Firmly , never wavering in the utmost conviction that evil is powerful, but there is a good that is more powerful still. Stay connected to that goodness with all your being, however it manifests irself to you. Acquaint yourself with the shadows that lie deep within you. And then, oopen yourself, all that is you to the light. Give freely. Take in abundantly. Find your safety , your refuge, and go theere as your need. Hear what you can, and be honest about the rest: be honest at all cost. Words won't always come; sometimes there are no words in the face of such tragic ecvil. But in your willingness to be with them, they will hear you; from soul to soul they will hear that for which there are no words .
with breathes of love an encouragment I support and encourage you on your lifes path. If ever I can be of help call my name....BrothersHeart
