A Simple Prayer

"God we do not expect you to cradle and nurse us, for we know you have given us minds to seek and find our own way. We cannot pray for you to end hunger, for we already have the resources to feed the world. Therefore, with your gifts of mind and inspiration, we will do instead of just pray, we will create instead of just wish. Amen"
-from elegy for Earl Kaufman (his favorite prayer)
