A Prayer

May 26th, 2008

To those who have died in the course of military service,

May I be a vessel of remembrance to you, carrying your hopes and dreams into the future.

May I learn from your sacrifice to love all beings, friends and enemies alike.

May I be witness to the sorrow of your death without flinching or shying away.

And may I be a celebration of your life so a small piece of it remains alive in me.

I offer my gratitude, respect, and love in honor of you, and will seek to be awake each moment of life so that the gifts you have given will not be squandered.
