A prayer for peace, in this century’s Guernica moment.

Each moment of birth brings a chance to become the bearer of peace in your universe.
Teach the children
To walk gently on earth
Silently through crowds
Invisibly like clouds,
Breathing poems
Into life.
No words, no doubts, no zoning out
No moon, no mind, no thing to find
Only wholly unimaginably empty
When all the noise is silenced, the meetings adjourned, lists laid aside,
and the wild iris blooms by itself in the dark forest,
what still pulls on your soul? ~Rumi
