President Franklin D. Roosevelt on a proclamation, Thanksgiving, 1941…

“….We have not lost our faith in the spiritual dignity of man, our proud belief in the right of all people to live out their lives in freedom and with equal treatment. The love of democracy still burns brightly in our hearts…”On the day appointed for this purpose, let us reflect at our homes or places of worship on the goodness of God and, in giving thanks, let us pray for a speedy end to strife and the establishment on earth of freedom, brotherhood, and justice for enduring time.”

From my heart to yours, all of my sisterhood and brotherhood, may our Democracy prevail for enduring time.

May the higher power of each of us root us in Light to show us the way. I am grateful for strife which strengthens us, and bounty which rewards us.

“And we won”. Yes. And, once again, we win.

Thank you Heather and from whence all of us came to be in this country.

Celebrate community that unifies us!

Love and Light!
