In My World

A Little Corner of Peace

My poetry corner in my bedroom. The bookcase is all poetry - of all shapes and kinds. The table was once in a Pittsburgh rectory, given to my mother in the early 1900's by a priest friend of the family. I love having history and family and loved possessions around me.

The two angels stand guard.

And today the sun is shining, it is pleasantly warm, and we had our little ones and our daughter here for a few hours visit.

 

The weather? Just grand!!

Around these parts it is in the 70s and bright and sunny. A day to savor. When I get sad, and I do more than I should, it is a day like this that makes me think JOY is possible.

Native American Prayer For Peace

A prayer for peace on this Memorial Day weekend


 

O Great Spirit of our ancestors
I raise my pipe to you.
To your messengers the four winds,
And to Mother Earth who provides for your children.
Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love,
to respect, and to be kind to each other
so that they may grow with peace in mind.
Let us learn to share all good things
that you provide for us on this Earth.

Icon by Father John Giuliani
