I thank God for this day, for bringing me together with this space, for allowing me to be a clear and present vessel for Your energy.
I ask that I am able to detach and release from all that no longer serves.
I ask that I am able to detach and release from the outcome of this, my prayer, so that all may be offered in the Highest Good.
I ask for this or something better with all my brothers and sisters.
Amen
Song sung after meditation - Bread and Roses
by James Oppenheim (1882-1932)
As we come marching, marching, in the beauty of the day,
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill-lofts gray
Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses,
For the people hear us singing, "Bread and Roses, Bread and Roses."
As we come marching, marching, we battle, too, for men --
For they are women's children, and we mother them again.
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes --
Hearts starve as well as bodies: Give us Bread, but give us Roses.
As we come marching, marching, unnumbered women dead
Go crying through our singing their ancient song of Bread;
Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew --
Yes, it is bread we fight for -- but we fight for Roses, too.
As we come marching, marching, we bring the Greater Days --
The rising of the women means the rising of the race --
No more the drudge and idler -- ten that toil where one reposes --
But a sharing of life's glories: Bread and Roses, Bread and Roses.
