The essential prayer: "Thank you"

If the only prayer you say in your life is "Thank you," that would suffice.

--Meister Eckhart

Today I pray for...

...the Japanese people and its refugees and rescue workers, oppressed people fighting for democracy across the Middle East, my dad, the Libyan rebels and the families of the African mercerneries who are propping up the Qaddafi government, LGBT advocates across the world, President Obama and Secretary Clinton, Governor Brown, Fred Karger, Jane, my friends, my extended family, Phil, Chris, Jason, Jeff, and myself. May all these being be happy and free from suffering.
