Our prayers for all animals continue to circle the earth, to uplift humanity's consciousness, and to bless the animals themselves. Thank you for joining people around the world who are praying this prayer in many different languages but all with the same love:

"COMPASSION ENCIRCLES THE EARTH FOR ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE"
Greetings of love and gratitude from Judy Carman

Guide Cows and Generous Crows: In my book Peace to All Beings I share many stories of animals helping human beings and, in some cases, even saving their lives.  Mary, a cow, for example, lived with Reverend Robertson who, in his later years, became almost completely blind.  Mary would lead him just as a guide dog would do.  However, no one trained her to do it.  She volunteered.  I recently learned about 8 year old Gabi who receives gifts from crows.  She and her mom have been feeding the crows for some time.  Gabi now has quite a collection of gifts the crows have left for her, usually at the bird feeder.  Gabi’s mom, Lisa, reports that she once lost her camera lens cap at the back of their property.  It soon turned up at the bird feeder.  The family has a motion sensor video camera in place which allowed her to see, not only a crow bringing the lens cap to the feeder where Lisa would find it, but also rinsing it off in the birdbath.

A Prayer of Thanks for These Love Stories: This week we give thanks for the thousands of stories people have shared that prove beyond doubt what animals have always known.  We are meant to be friends, not enemies.  We are meant to help and love one another.  Instead human beings have abused and killed animals by the billions, oblivious to their sacredness and to our kinship with them.  Yet the animals still manage to find ways to forgive our species, save us from danger and heartache, and give us gifts of love and faithfulness. This week let us hold in our hearts this fervent prayer (aka focused thought).  Dear crows and cows and all animals of earth, thank you for forgiving us and for never giving up on us.  Each time you reach out to one of us and your story is told, it brings all humanity closer to understanding who you are—our teachers, our neighbors, our fellow travelers, our comforters, our precious friends. We are here for you.  We are here to tell your love stories.  We are here to carry your message to the human beings who don’t yet understand, but whose hearts long to connect with you. You show us how to never give up and we never will.  We See You.  We Love You.  In our hearts, we walk and fly and swim with you all.  Together we can bring paradise back to earth.        

As always, with tears of gratitude, I send my thanks to each of you, dear Prayer Circle members, for joining this circle of compassion and shining the Light of Truth for all to see, so that one day soon, all beings will live in peace together.

May compassion and love reign over all the earth for all beings everywhere. 
Thank you all for your devotion to truth, love, liberation and peace for all beings.
With Love, peace, and gratitude from Judy Carman, and greetings from Will, Madeleine, Tara and the Circle of Compassion team
