Peppers Picked in Prayer

November 12, 2013

Peppers

Climate Change Is Real…

In Many Ways…

In Different Places…

At The Same Time…

As We All Exist.

 

Today I picked these peppers due to early freezing temperatures in North Carolina.
Although each pepper could’ve lived longer on the vine if the weather wasn’t so dangerous…
I was mindful with each pluck that all food is a blessing…
I wished I could be sharing with all those desperate for food in the Philippines.

I’m aware there is no ecological way to transport food to faraway places…
My intention is in the name of the poor, the hungry, those in need…
For all those suffering from the devastating impacts of climate change,

I offer my devotions in the form of behavioral atonement and faithful practice of Creation Care.

Prayers for Justice,
ST Sig
Director, NC Interfaith Power & Light

“No nation will be immune to the impacts of climate change,” said a major World Bank report on the issue last year. “However, the distribution of impacts is likely to be inherently unequal and tilted against many of the world’s poorest regions, which have the least economic, institutional, scientific and technical capacity to cope and adapt.” — NY Times Blog, ANNIE LOWREY 11/12/13
