Today the wmf - a campaigning forum - closes. I have put this prayer on the site for members who will now find a new home, hopefully some on here.

May God bless you with discomfort

at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships

so that you may live deep within your heart

May God bless you with anger

at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people

so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace

May God bless you with tears

to shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger and war

so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and

to turn their pain into joy

And may God bless you with enough foolishness

to believe that you can make a difference in the world

so that you can do what others claim cannot be done

to bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor
