Light a Candle. Join us!

We have a new candle lighted on our kitchen-table altar.  In our household we light candles for many situations or people or causes.  The light of each candle carries with it our prayers, our hopes for that person or situation.  You might say, we pray a lot.

When I came downstairs this morning in the light of half-dawn, This particular candle in its blue glass jar cast its light across the kitchen to greet me.  A beacon, a true light in the darkness.

This candle is part of a worldwide prayer circle for the dismantling of the Fourth Tower at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant that was damaged in the earthquake and then tsunami in 2011.  For the past two years, while the world attempted to watch, nuclear waste has been seeping into the Pacific Ocean.  

While the world watches, or tried to watch the waters from the above-ground cooling towers continually washing the still hot or used rods has been purposefully released into the pacific Ocean. 

While the world tried to watch the ground beneath these crumbling towers began to sink and crumble.

While the world attempted to watch the Japanese government and TEPCO decided to move both the spent rods and the hot ones. 

And while the world tried to watch they passed a gag order on media reporting on the progress.

Petitions have been passed and signed and sent to the various places petitions go.  The worldwide community has been asked to step in.  The United Nations has been asked to step in.

The rods are now being moved.  As I write; as we eat; as we sleep; as we go about our days and nights brave or fool-hardy souls are moving these radioactive fuel rods.

There is much that could be written about this situation, for much information has come through alternative media sources.  But information is not my medium. 

Prayer and energy work is my work: offering Words is becoming my work. 

And so, I ask that you join the millions who continue to pray as these fuel rods are being removed. 

I ask that you pray for the workers in an impossible situation doing what they can do;

for the many tens of thousands who have been displaced;

for the minds and hearts of decision makers who pull the strings of action behind the scenes;

for the life of the Pacific Ocean;

Our prayers are mighty and can have consequences we cannot know.

I invite you. Join us. Light a candle.  Spend time with it. 

Thank you!

Here is the link for the folks who began this wonderful action.  So grateful to them.
