From the invocation at the Pacifica Institute Silicon Valley’s Interfaith Thanksgiving and Forum

Mother Teresa said “Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.” What a world it would be if we all followed that direction! Imagine if we each sent blessings to one another and gave thanks for all the diversity and variety there is. Each of us is a miracle and we all deserve to be loved and cherished. There should be no room for hote or prejudice directed at any person or group. Instead, let us ensure through our words and deeds that we are on the side of love. May peace, love and joy surround us and may we be thankful this year and every year for what we have been given.

Amen, Blessed Be, Namaste, Ameen
