For PEACE

People of Ukraine,

may you feel the solidarity of so many surrounding you as evil acts invade your land and your lives,

may you be safe from violence and enveloped in peace,

may transformative wisdom reshape the hardened hearts of those who too often choose brutality over bonds,

may those in power use their strength and resources to protect the very real, vulnerable humans most harmed by petty politics and propaganda,

and as our overwhelmed attention inevitably wanes,

may we all recommit to keeping our focus fixed on the weighty war being waged, not only on one country but on the entire idea of freedom,

and may we the world not only hope for but actively become the better place and people we know are possible.
Amen [From ‘Spirituality and Practice]
