Prayer for the Air, Water, Earth, Fire of Our Planet

We invite you to meditate upon this photo of Earth suspended in space, seen from the barren surface of the Moon — a warning as well as a platform. You might first expand the photo by clicking on it; pause to meditate on it; and then lift up this prayer. We have used it at several different gatherings of protest against the actions of corporations that are wounding Planet Earth, our mother and our selves. —  Rabbi Arthur Waskow
