Welcome to the Earth Prayer Meditation Room.
We invite you to begin or deepen your life of blessing, today.
And we especially invite you to join us
in affirming the meditative prayers offered below,
at the turn of each hour of every day (or as often as the Spirit moves you)
in reciting as many or as few of the verses as feels right to you,
in repeating the verses to which you are especially drawn,
in composing and praying your own meditative prayers
of opening and connecting, of blessing and commitment,
in the spirit of what is offered here,
or praying similar prayers from your own spiritual tradition.
We have no idea how many people are participating each hour
and most likely will never know. You are free to imagine
as many dozens or thousands or millions as you wish.
Our first meditation companions, for each of us, are the
sixty to one hundred trillion cells of our own bodies.

Creative Questions for an Awakening Life
(adapted from the work of Vijali Hamilton)
1. What kinds of beautiful aliveness is life/Earth/the universe wanting to express through me and my unique life? today… this year… this lifetime
2. What stands in the way, both inside and outside of me, of my expressing more of that beautiful aliveness?
3. How can I, and how will I, transform those opposing forces or situations, through a creative engagement which includes listening, dialogue, opening-to-learn-from and forgiveness?
4. How can I, and how will I, nurture the beautiful aliveness growing in everyone? How will I participate in growing beyond war, and beyond the savage inequalities of our present world?
5. How can I, and how will I, nurture the web of life that sustains us? How will I participate in protecting the life of the Earth?

These I take to be my kin,
expressions of the same Heart of Being,
the same Living Universe,
of which my life is an expression.
