Our prayers for all animals continue to circle the earth, to uplift humanity's consciousness, and to bless the animals themselves. Thank you for joining people around the world who are praying this prayer in many different languages but all with the same love:

"COMPASSION ENCIRCLES THE EARTH FOR ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE"
Greetings of love and gratitude from Judy Carman

World Love for Dolphins Day is February 13: In continuing efforts to stop the brutal killing and capturing of dolphins in Japan, Sea Shepherd is calling for demonstrations at Japanese Embassies and Consulates around the world on February 13. For details about where these will occur, SS says visit our website. We are also invited to send photos of ourselves holding a World Love for Dolphins Day sign to worldlovefordolphins@seashepherd.org.  We can also make a valentine for a dolphin or send our photo to:
Ambassador Kenichiro Sasae
C/O The Embassy of Japan in Washington, D.C.
2520 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20008
Sea Shepherd reminds us: “For six months of each year — from September until March — entire family units, or pods, of dolphins and small whales are driven into Taiji’s killing cove. The dolphins and whales face brutal slaughter, a lifetime in captivity, or in a drive just as stressful as the drive into the cove, remaining pod members must endure an exhausting drive back out to sea. Operation Infinite Patience aims to bring a permanent end to the drive hunts and slaughter.”

A Prayer for this Week:  Together we bear witness to the agony and death of innocent dolphins and small whales in Taiji, Japan.  As we draw near to World Love for Dolphins Day, we join our hearts and minds with millions of other human beings who stand in solidarity with us, with the dolphins and whales, and with all those dedicated activists who are part of Operation Infinite Patience in Japan.  We pray for each other for strength to never give up until they are all free.  We send to all those involved in the violence, from our hearts to theirs—a simple message—“Look into their eyes and now see Divine Love looking back at you.”  And let us close our eyes whenever we can this week, breathe deeply of peace and compassion, and then imagine a brilliant light filled with comfort, courage, and love rising up from all of us and being carried on gentle breezes to all the dolphins and small whales in Taiji and elsewhere.  And as this light tenderly surrounds them all, we show them our vision of the future in which all their children are free, the waters are clear and blue as the sky, and, not just we, but all human beings are their dear friends and companions as it was always meant to be. And so it is.    

As always, with tears of gratitude, I send my thanks to each of you, dear Prayer Circle members, for joining this circle of compassion and shining the Light of Truth for all to see, so that one day soon, all beings will live in peace together.

May compassion and love reign over all the earth for all beings everywhere. 
Thank you all for your devotion to truth, love, liberation and peace for all beings.
With Love, peace, and gratitude from Judy Carman, and greetings from Will, Madeleine, Tara and the Circle of Compassion team
