[GMW #2263] Begin And End With A Minute Of Silence For Prayer Or Meditation For Meetings At All Levels

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500

~ Idea 1074 ~ 19 June 1997

Benjamin Franklin, at a session of the Continental Congress trying to ratify the US Constitution rose to say: "Gentlemen, if a sparrow cannot fall on the ground without the knowledge of the Creator, how can we expect to give birth to a new nation without His assistance. I propose therefore that we open each session with prayer."

This beautiful remark is relevant to all human affairs. I therefore propose that every family meeting, every school class, every meeting of institutions, government, business and people will begin with prayer. May the whole world follow the example of the yearly sessions of the United Nations General Assembly which open and end with a minute of silence for prayer or meditation.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
Love is above all the natural or willful decision to experience the miraculous beauty of our immediate surroundings, of the Earth, the skies, the stars, the waters, the plants, the animals, the people, the universe and God.

Love is the most powerful ally of the will to live the fullest possible life.
