Today's Prayer for Healing
August 18, 2022
When I think of peace, I think of a world where human beings are no longer brutalized on account of their accidents of birth as s*x, race, religion, or nationality. For me, peace is a way of structuring human relations where daily acts of kindness and caring are tangibly rewarded. It is a way of thinking, feeling and acting where our essential interconnection is truly honored.
I pray for a world where we live in partnership rather than domination; where "man's conquest of nature" is recognized as sucicdal and sacrilegious;
where power is no longer equated with the blade, but with the holy chalice: the ancient symbol of the power to give, nurture, enhance life. And I not only pray, but actively work, for the day when it will be so.
