I'm reposting this, as my email tagged along garbage again to the last message: *************** I had a request to write up a generic invitation for Sunday's "Prayer for PD' day (or whatever you may wish to call it), that people could simply forward onto others that they would like to have participate. Feel free to edit it as you wish before forwarding it onward, but I hope that it may make things easier for everyone to have this little message to forward along, rather than having to draft one themselves. ****************** August 16, 1998 has been informally designated as a day of prayer/meditation for a cure for Parkinson's Disease. You are invited to participate in this unique event and to combine your prayers (or other forms of supplication and meditation) with those of others who either have PD or have been affected by this disease. Similar events have been done by other groups for the purposes of world peace, etc., and PD is also an issue that affects people from all backgrounds and cultures. It is hoped that this event will, at the very least, help to promote a sense of common purpose amongst those affected by PD, by giving them a sense of active participation, rather than passive submission. At the best, perhaps we can together help speed along the search for a cure, so that we may all get on with our lives and pursue our dreams and purposes with renewed vigor and health. To make it simple, please take a few minutes either at dawn or dusk (when first waking up or going to bed), to think about those with PD and their friends and families, to visualize a cure for PD, and to give thanks that this will be done, AS IF it were already reality. Whether one is Christian, Buddhist, New Age, or no affiliation in particular, we believe that the combined prayers and meditations of as many as possible can only be positive. Thank you for your participation and may this event also richly bless your own life. ***************** Wendy Tebay
