A Song of Prayer Radiating from My Heart
May we understand and transform
racial habits of harm.
May we remember
that we belong to each other.
May we grow in our awareness
that what we do can help or hinder
racial well-being.
May our thoughts and actions
reflect the world we want to live in
and leave behind.
May we heal the seeds of separation
inherited from our ancestors
in gratitude for this life.
May all beings without exception
benefit from our growing awareness.
May our thoughts and actions
be ceremonies of well-being for all races.
May we honor being diverse racial beings
within the human race.
May we meet the racial cries of the world
with as much wisdom and grace
as we can muster.
