A Single Drop of Prayerful Energy
by Yuka Saionji
One of the peace minded people who attended the interfaith event United for a Culture of Peace through Interfaith Harmony at the United Nations in February was Dr. Nina Meyerhof, a visionary educator from the United States who was a guest at the 2007 Symphony of Peace Prayers at Fuji Sanctuary.
Just before the event began, Dr. Meyerhof told me: "Earlier today, I offered a prayer in the prayer room here at the UN. As I prayed, I had a vision. It was the image of a single seed being set down at the UN, and from here it rippled outward. People may think that this is just a one-day event, but it is much more than that. I sensed that beginning today, we are taking a great and important step toward a transformation in humanity's consciousness. The work that you and your family are doing is really wonderful, and a new era is now coming into being."
With these encouraging words, Dr. Meyerhof and I embraced each other, and then took our seats.
After the event, her words remained in my mind...
