May 29, 2019 — Religious freedom is not theoretical or etheric; it is real and tangible in our lives and our bodies otherwise it does not exist.
Everyday I say a prayer that is dedicated to the battle we have here in New York to maintain health & religious freedoms. Although I hold hope for a specific outcome I have learned that God’s plan is far greater than mine, and I am not in charge. Whatever happens I must hold in my heart that God knows, and I don’t. The daily surrender to this fact is not easy, but it is essential for the sanity, health and well-being of myself and my family. To me this prayer feels as if it is related to the Prayer of St. Francis.

Thy will not mine be done, great mysteries release me from the bondage of self.
Thy will not mine be done, divine mother-fathers relieve me of the bondage of self
Thy will not mine be done, great mysteries release me from the bondage of self.
