As hours of daylight wane, and we spend more time indoors, here is a passage for thanksgiving and meditation on the power of our 'inner light' to shine for world peace.

Never underestimate the power of prayer, intention, meditation for uplifting all minds. After day is done, our time on earth completed we will see that divisions keeping us in the delusion of separateness will have melted away and we will be of one mind in the greater One mind.

Let us give thanks during the holidays this year for all we've come into consciousness of as one humanity.

"We brightly shine in Autumn's light
With caring actions day and night.

Lighthearted acts with all our might
Open us to 'inner light'.

Peace is needed everyone
Our constant song let that become.

The universal Source of light
Knows our need and knows it's right.

To light our life with joy and peace
Giving all a firm release.

From bondage, selfishness, withholding
From darkness by pure love's unfolding.

Autumn days give time for thinking
Let's uncover 'the light'
Let's go for peace keeping.

That all lands as one become
And flourish fully - work well done!"
