PLANET PARTICULR
We who gather here each week
live in lands aplenty
around our shared planet.
They are where we live out
"spirituality for the street."
The focus of this week's posting
is my homeland as we celebrate
our birthday, The Fourth Of July,
and the call to freedom.
Please widen the focus of this posting
to the particulars of your homeland
and the call to freedom where you are at home..
Each of our homelands is particular
and yet fundamentally and happily
we are one as
Planet People.
God bless us all coming alive
in all sorts of ways and lands,
coming alive in
The Love That Is God.

Dear All of Us,
Parades, picnics,
fireworks,
fun-filled-full
Fourth of July
our annual festival
of
FREEDOM
from much
for much
among many
not yet fully for all
Let freedom ring,
ring true,
ring loud and clear
for one and for all
as we
Freedom Forth
So we pray:
OH GOOD GOD OF ALL
Wow!!
What freedom.
What plenty.
What gift and good.
Our minds recognize
an endless parade
of blessing,
our hearts a bursting
fireworks of thanks.
OH GOOD GOD OF ALL
We recommit
to
FREEDOM FULLNESS
for
ONE AND ALL
We ask for the wisdom, the clarity,
the purity, largeness, the togetherness,
the enthusiasm, the steadiness and stamina
to unceasingly keep opening up, developing
and sharing this treasure of freedom with and for all.
May ours be a land and we a people
One nation under God
with liberty and justice
for all.
Amen

Hey, enjoy the hotdogs,
potato salad,
corn on the cob
the ambrosia,
and most of all
each other.
Next week it's
Divine Investment
on the
"Margins"
Love to all,
John Frank
