As fires blaze across Los Angeles, my home of 7 years, my heart is heavy for my friends, family and all those affected—the lives, homes, and cherished memories threatened by these relentless flames. I offer my deepest prayers for protection to all beings in harm’s way, human and animal alike, and for the brave souls fighting to contain the destruction.
May a shield of safety surround the vulnerable, and may the winds be calmed, the flames subdued, and the air cleansed of smoke. May the resilience of community shine brightly through this darkness, offering solace and strength to those in need.
To those who feel the weight of fear and loss, know that you are not alone. The collective spirit rises with you, holding you in light, sending love, and hoping for swift relief and renewal.
Let us join our energies in a unified prayer:
May the waters bless the land, quenching the flames.
May the winds carry peace, not destruction.
May the fires be tamed by compassion and resolve.
May the Earth heal swiftly and grow anew.To the hearts burdened by loss, may courage rise. To the creatures seeking shelter, may safety find you. To the hands and spirits aiding others, may strength and grace guide your way.
May those impacted find comfort in the care of others and courage to face what comes next. Together, we hold space for hope, healing, and the promise of restoration.
With love and unwavering light,
Heather
