"A Prayer for America" was written by Stephan Dinan, founder of The Shift Network, and released on July 4th of this year.

A Prayer for America

On this day dedicated to independence,
I pray that we release our celebration of violence,
And remember that we are made of nobler virtues.
May we recognize our high and holy purpose,
Which cannot be advanced through bloodshed,
Or fulfilled by hate, greed or fear.
E Pluribus Unum is more than a motto;
It is a mission that
Can only be served by daring to love
All of humanity with a tender embrace,
Whispering the words that you, too, are welcome.
May we own our strength without the need to dominate.
May we claim our power without the need to polarize.
May we know that we were ultimately created
For peace to reign in this beautiful world.
Our character was forged in history's fires,
Which required some tempering and toughening
To defend the cause of liberty.
We can honor the warrior path we have walked,
Yet is is not our true destination;
Rather, it is to finally end the long torment of war,
And arrive at a new beginning:
Our human family reunited,
Our precious planet preserved,
With the grace of God blessing all.
Let us lead the way, America,
With peace in our hearts, on our lips and in our hands.
Let us bring that new dawn together.

The Shift Network.com is a huge treasure of information on many, many subjects featuring leaders in their fields, such as Caroline Myss, Dr. Norman Shealy, David Crow, Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, and the list goes on and on.  It is wonderful, and hopeful, to know that so many are working so diligently to help enlighten us all.

The 'shift' in The Shift Network pertains to a shift in consciousness, which happens when we come to a higher understanding of our own health, peace, forgiveness, etc.  If you have not visited the website before, I think you will find at least one presentation that touches your heart and very possibly, more.

Stephan Dinan's new book, "Sacred America, Sacred World" was released on July 4, 2016 and is available on Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, and at The Shift Network.com

Wishing you the blessing of the realization that peace, like happiness, is an inside job and one that we all need to embrace and practice.  There will be peace in our world when there are more of us who love peace, than there are those who hate war.

Love,

Zizi
