THE BALLOONIST’S PRAYER
May the winds welcome you with softness.
May the sun bless you with its warm hands.
May you fly so high and so well that God joins you in laughter
And sets you gently back into the loving arms of Mother Earth.

Fire has such duality, not unlike water. It can be life saving when we are needing warmth but it can also destroy us when it is out of control. As our quote this month says, “A small match lights a big fire.” While that can suggest that one person can make great change I also see it as “Watch out!”
It’s a big time for mother earth; eclipses, Earth Day, World Labyrinth Day and I’m sure there are more events in store. We know the earth needs our help right now. We haven’t been so kind to it. And yet, it provides so much beauty and awe.
Impact! is a podcast that creates change WITH our listeners, using the power of prayer and intention to bring about positive change in our world. Each week, we explore one aspect of what it means to pray, offer healing, or send intention out into the world, and by so doing, to actually have an impact. We also get practical, examining a wide range of news stories from around the world that pull at our heart-strings, offering very specific suggestions for prayer and intention sending. For people of any faith tradition or none, we welcome anyone who wants to play their part in creating peace, harmony and healing in the world.
This episode of Impact! focuses on the Global Healing Response focus for this quarter: Our Earth/Water. Learn more about the history of the GHR and about our global water issues.
