Harmony at work

The timeline on Recovery.gov shows that tomorrow is the day when agencies begin reporting they way they are using recovery funds in an effort to be transparent and accountable to the American people. This is an important step in our recovery; honest and responsible disclosure, good stewardship, a continuing commitment to ethical and good practice. I marvel that change is happening on so many levels and in so many ways, affecting so many people and calling a country's population and partners throughout the world to a new standards based on shared values, collective response to world problems, and the highest ideals of our nature.

Change is harder for some than others, and often our striving for self-gain is based on a fear that the lower natures rule. If there is no spirit of collaboration, if harmony is not allowed to work as it naturally will in the hearts of caring humans, we have good reason to believe no one will help if we are in trouble, no government or individual will assist when things get bad. But when harmony is invited and welcomed--as it is in the Obama administration--we begin to listen, we begin to trust, we begin to hope, and soon, we act.

God, Father/Mother, Friend, Divine Wisdom, we ask that you open and secure the way for continued harmony, peace, hope, and belief to grow in our world, our government, and our homes as we continue on this path led by our new President. Bless his vision and passion, continue to bring him advisors whose hearts hold the seed of true servant leadershipi, and continue to hold his family in your tender, all-presence care. Thank you for the wonderful changes you are already bringing to this country, Lord, and help us to continually listen to you, to the good, to the prompting of our higher nature as we emerge together from a difficult past. Amen.
