On the Wind

While Spring dances with Winter prayers are being made ready to send on the wind.

Wish for All Creation

We stand in wonder of the beauty of creation. The birds in the air, the fish in the sea,

the insects we might not see and our friends, the animals.

We thank them for the beauty they add to our lives and the gifts they provide to us daily.

We offer them our love and protection. We wish them a peaceful existence and a life

free from suffering.

We commit our lives to the responsible stewardship of these great creatures and the

Earth we have inherited.

May our works be noble and our hearts ever-mindful of these gifts.

-Animal Chaplain Nancy Cronk
