We live in an anxious world.  Everywhere we turn anxiety seems to be the rule rather than the exception.  It is a condition that is self-perpetuating, festering and fomenting in the fragile psyche of all our systems.  Our prayer is to become the agents of Calm, considerate and thoughtful in action and in word.  Let contact be our practice, whether it come in the form of a timely hug or a non-judgmental ear.  Tranquility Now is our mantra – we are competent, grounded, assured and assuring.  Bless the world with your calming balm, be the spiritual salve that brings Tranquility Now into this moment and the next.  For inner and outer calm we quietly give thanks.  Blesséd Be, and Amen.
