Sunday Inspiration: The Dream of My Life
Proman and I have a special interest in India since our daughter was born there.
In his ministry, Proman has also traveled to India and worked with groups who organize the poorest of the poor to struggle for their civil rights and economic justice.
One of those organizers is an amazing man by the name of Vivek Pandit who built a school for Tribal girls that we help sponsor. Vivek is a deeply spiritual person, and he wrote this prayer that is inspirational for me and I hope for you as well.
This is the dream of my life
May it come true
May the children of human beings
Live with human dignity
May no one sell their bodies
To quell the pangs of hunger,
And may my inner urge ever be
To destroy oppression
May the flowers yet to bloom
Not be trampled underfoot
May every breath I take
Help new flowers to bloom
May I never be weak, vulnerable
And powerless
May I find within myself
The strength to contain storms
The night that has just passed
Was the long & darkest
Let the emerging rays
Live forever in the huts of the poor
May those who have no food
And no dignity, be my inspiration
May every step I take today
Be in the service of that God
This is my prayer
May it come true
May the children of human beings
Live with human dignity
Namaste, friends. (I bow to the divine within you.)
Thanks for the beauty I see as I read your Sunday Inspiration. Beautiful child, beautiful smile, beautiful prayer. May you and yours be blessed and may those in such peril this day feel the love from all of us who watch with such a feeling of helplessness. I love quotes and the child’s smile prompted: ‘Tis easy enough to be pleasant, when life flows along like a song: But the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. Ella W. Wilcox, “Worth While”
Thank YOU, Martha.
Thank you for this Sunday morning inspiration.
Namaste.
Lovely
Em, God bless you and Proman!?
I think that is one of the nicest things I have ever read. Thank you for sharing.
