We pray that good deciding gives God opening
to act (prayer of hope from Australia)

The swelling tides that reach
every white Australian beach
bring currents in endless legions
from the planet's every region.

Tidings swell and resound
on our distant shores,
and wash from all around
recession and ceaseless wars.

Hope infects first the one
and then so soon another:
the whole world puts some trust
in US President Obama.

Our little prayers are tides
that join this to that land.
They wash potent hope
to every place: yes, they can.

Prayers are their own tidings,
spreading across great tracts.
we pray that good deciding
gives God opening to act. --Ted
