Peace

Regardless of whether you are secular or religious, lets pray for peace. Prayer can be a meditation, an inner resolve, a reflection, a personal affirmation, or a prayer to your own divinity. Whatever it is for you, may we all keep peace close at hand, to see us through this quagmire in Iraq. I can't help but feel that something bad is starting in Iraq, something that could take the world by storm.

Lets pray that peace prevails, that the hearts of men and women see wisdom to guide us through this dark hour, and that we may steer clear of further violence and bloodshead. Lets pray for everyone who is there, no matter who they are, or what they have done, lets pray that peace prevails... And as a butterfly flaps its wings and sets in motions larger forces of nature, may these thoughts of ours spread their own wings and effect first those around us, and those around them, and finally out into the larger world, this fragile planet we all share as one.
