Kanyini Prayer… For the World…On behalf of all of us of indigenous ancestry from the First Peoples of Australia, to all the great Creators of Nature, who have always loved us without condition throughout all our natural life and beyond, I offer this prayer:
To Mother Earth: I acknowledge with love and appreciation the care and unconditional love you provide for all living things. May we be led to understand this; may your ways of unconditional love for all life, be our ways, that we live this each moment of our life.
To Mother Sun: I acknowledge the light you share – living as a light of love, peace, understanding and honouring each and every one of us throughout the world. May we understand your light as life that relates us to each other as family so we can be led to love each other and all living as family. May we develop ways like you, loving without judgment, that we can live love without conditions. May we learn from you to shine our light from within, in service to each other and all living throughout the world to the best of our ability.
To all of Nature: I acknowledge and honour the life you give: the Air we breathe that gives us life, the Water we drink that gives us life, the creatures we kill that gives us life, the plants we take from earth that gives us life. To every living thing I may have not mentioned that gives us life, I acknowledge you with appreciation and love.
To all Peoples of the World: I acknowledge and honour each and every one of you. May we each be responsible for the wellbeing of each other and all living in the ways we think, speak, and act towards each other each moment of our lives. May we communicate with love. May we action our interactions with the qualities of love- compassion, patience, humility, kindness, generosity and caring- to know and understand each other. May we be love and peace, respecting the cultural beliefs of each other that we may live with love and peace, always.
With love, I offer this prayer in the name of all that is sacred and holy.
So Let It Be
