And,
may we consistently choose the single goal of peace
rather than multiple goals that lead to conflict;
may we continue to practice forgiveness;
may we recognize that we are united as one Self and illuminate the world with the light of Love that shines through us;
may we awaken to the knowledge that the essence of
our being is Love, and, as such, we are the light
of the world.
Renouncing self and crying out to evil
To end its wars, I seek a land that lies
All unprotected like a sleeping child;
Nor is my journey reckless and unwise.
Who doubts that love has an effective weapon
May meet with a surprise.
