FREEDOM

   

      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
