"Let us all Join Hands all Around the World" is an ecumenical

prayer. . .maybe that's not the way to put it.   The poem is

not written from a religious or nationalistic point of view, but from a

humanitarian one.   Not to go on (as is my habit:)), here's an

excerpt that I feel is telling:

------------------------------------------------------------------

   Let us pray that we will begin to spread

         the word more that every major religion
         in the world has as its major tenet
         the belief that doing for others
         what we would have done for us
         is most important
         and nothing is more needed
         and nothing is more righteous
         and nothing is more spiritual
         and nothing should be allowed to
         divide us, division being the antithesis
         of Love.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

If any of you can find the time and the notion strikes you, please

let me know what you think (in light of the questions above.)

Thank you for being here!

All your warm and wonderful support!!
