Forgive my appearance--I've been feeling a little under the weather.  But today on MyObama, I was invited to participate in this event.  I won't make any comments about it (at least not in the blogpost body), but you can take it for what you will.

Dear Friends,

We are Barack Obama supporters and independent spiritual practitioners, who feel it’s important to extend a special blessing of spiritual support and protection to Barack during this time of the presidential campaign. We invite you to join in with us in whatever way works for you: prayer, meditation, ritual blessing, song, affirmations, whatever…

Let your heart-light and conscious blessing surround Barack, nurture and sustain him, gently yet firmly protect him from all reactive, misguided intent, and support him with the spirit of mutual empowerment, hope, freedom, and change that he is bringing so profoundly into American politics and, truly, into the social contract of all humankind.

Whatever you do, however you do it, we suggest that you make a point of dedicating a few minutes each day to this blessing, support and extension of spiritual protection to Barack Obama. Any time that works for you, whether it’s a regular time each day or not, will contribute to our united efforts.

With deepest respect, regards and blessings for your participation and contributions.
