Somewhere this moment,
there is a wee one, uttering a prayer for
Two-Legged creatures she sees on her travels.

“O Creator-Of-Us-All,
I pray for the Two-Legged creatures
who foolishly ignore the signs that are all around.
Signs which, if they aren’t acted upon,
will result in even more damage to the environment.

Thee-Who-Is-Truth,
I pray for those Two-Legged creatures
who hear truth about climate change
and yet choose to ignore it.

O Holy-One-Who-Celebrates-Life,
I pray for wisdom and compassion for all in the Two-Legged world
so the spread of untruths will be stopped
and the devastation of this planet we share with them
will come to an end.

Thee-Who-Loves-All-Creatures,
I pray for unconditional love
to move in the hearts of the Two-Legged creatures
whose hearts are cold
and whose minds are focused on selfish ways.

May this prayer be heard
and may the Two-Legged ones
exercise wisdom, compassion and kindness
to us
and to one another.

This day, this night, this moment
… Creator
… Holy One
… Hearer of Whispered Concerns
… Listener of Unspoken Fears
… Gentle Bearer of Grief
remind the Two-Legged creatures that
this earth is sacred
the waters are sacred
the sky is sacred
the animal, plant, fish, mammal, insect kingdoms are sacred
and they, Two-Legged creatures are sacred.

This day, this night, Sacred Friend Who Loves Unconditionally,
remind the Two-Legged creatures of your call to them
to be good stewards of the lands, the skies,
the waters, each other, and themselves.

And remind them
that if they don’t change their ways
they
will not survive
and
neither
will
I.
