I offer up this prayer on the day of remembering the 10th Anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11:

May the hearts of those who remain heavy with grief, loneliness and despair be lifted by the gifts of those they loved and lost.

May each day contain a greater degree of comfort and peace in the knowledge that those who lost their lives on that day called into presence the joining together of all humanity in action, prayer and assistance.

May this day remain as testament and reminder of both the cruelty and the nobility we possess as humans.

And, may we always strive towards that place of extending a hand to another in need in recognition that their joy is our joy, their grief is our grief; and their hope is our hope that all of humanity may someday walk in the Light of their Higher Nature.
