(My Prayer for the Animals)
I am unified with all creatures I shall ever meet, and they with me, for we are all manifestations of the One Presence. All Gods creatures are my brothers and sisters. I follow the example of the Masters and treat every living thing with kindness. I recognize the Divine Presence within and around me, and in all creatures. The God Presence watches over my beloved animals and keeps my companions safe and healthy. Gratefully acknowledging and gladly receiving this benediction, I live and move and accept its fullest in love and trust. If there is anything in me that denies this Presence, this Power, or this Oneness, I release it and let it go now.
And so it is.
