Inaugural Poem
Here's a link to Elizabeth Alexander's Inaugural Poem. It made me see colorful pictures when I heard it on the radio today. I was so close to tears at many times today. Welcome to the new world.

The Nine Prayers
I don't know where this was from, but it was given to me yesterday so I'm sharing them with you.
The Nine Prayers
1. May I be peaceful, happy, and light in body and spirit.
2. May I be free from injury. May I live in safety.
3. May I be free from disturbance, fear, anxiety and worry.
4. May I learn to look at myself with the eyes of understanding and love.
5. May I be able to recognize and touch the seeds of joy and happiness in myself.
6. May I learn to identify and see the sources of anger, craving and delusion in myself.
7. May I know how to nourish the seeds of joy in myself every day.
8. May I be able to live fresh, solid, and free.
9. May I be free from attachment and aversion, but not indifferent.
