A Prayer on 9/11
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the foggy island of Nantucket! A simple reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah on this eve of the tenth anniversary of that horrific day ten years ago, by the actual day, today, a day that the world will never forget and indeed may never fully understand. For where there is hate, let me bring LOVE, where there is vengeance, may I bring the spirit of forgiveness. Where there is despair, let me bring the LIGHT of hope, building on a new future with better days and fewer tears. May all be at peace~
‘Seek the Lord while he may be found,
call him while he is near.
Let the scoundrel forsake his way,
and the wicked his thoughts;
let him turn to the Lord for mercy;
to our God, who is generous
in forgiving.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways my ways,
says the Lord.
As high as the heavens are above
the earth,
so high are my ways above your ways
and my thoughts above your thoughts.
PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
