Empty space, new possibilities

History offers us wisdom, insight, and patterns of action that can help us discover time-tested and demonstrated solutions to current problems. But history can also be limiting in that (1) that time isn't this time; (2) the people responding today have their own world views and perspectives, different from that of a former time; (3) spirit, creative thought, and harmony are freshly present, right now, in this living moment.

Loving Lord, bring us afresh into this present moment, with its unlimited potential, its myriad happy possibilities, and its new and perfect answer to the living we're called to this day. Like manna, you supply fresh blessings every morning. Help us to be open to the divine idea, present within, among, and around us all today. Bless President-elect Obama and his family, staff, and advisors, that they may continue to be led with new, vibrant energy into the healed and whole Now, with your ideas as constant companions, in tune with the harmony of all that is and ever will be. Amen.
