Today is a day for the animals.

Our gorgeous, giving four legged friends.*
We hold in our hearts their safety, loving treatment, full, happy lives and smooth angelic passage.

It lifts my heart to know they go to romp with all of our former animal beloveds;

Keep them in your hearts today,

right now before moving from where you are,
before beginning your next task, next phone call, next email
join in this prayer with the world.
Our collective voices empower all the love in heaven, so today we will change the world.
