In thinking about our friends in Japan and the thousands
that we don’t personally know, we feel helpless to really do anything
significant, other than donate to an organization like the Red Cross and attend a candlelight vigil. But we believe in the power of
prayer…so as the Quakers might say, we hold the people of Japan “In the light.” In Quaker spirituality, the image of
light represents the presence of God or that which is all-knowing, all-seeing, all powerful -
that can heal with the power that created the universe. As Louise Hay said, “When I hear of any crises in
the world, I immediately surround the whole situation with white light. I send
love and healing energy to everyone connected with it. I suggest everyone take
a moment today to close your eyes, and send love and healing energy to the
people of Japan.” http://www.louisehay.com/wisdom-from-louise/
