🙏 A Prayer for the World and a Gift for You 💝

A PRAYER FOR THE WORLD

Let the rain come and wash away

the ancient grudges, the bitter hatreds

held and nurtured over generations.

Let the rain wash away the memory

of the hurt, the neglect.

Then let the sun come out and

fill the sky with rainbows.

Let the warmth of the sun heal us

wherever we are broken.

Let it burn away the fog so that

we can see each other clearly.

So that we can see beyond labels,

beyond accents, gender, or skin color.

Let the warmth and brightness

of the sun melt our selfishness.

So that we can share the joys and

feel the sorrows of our neighbors.

And let the light of the sun

be so strong that we will see all

people as our neighbors.

Let the earth, nourished by rain,

bring forth flowers

to surround us with beauty.

And let the mountains teach our hearts

to reach upward to heaven.

Amen.

- Rabbi Harold S. Kushner

This prayer has been on my lips all week. While it may seem 'not enough,' I believe it is one of the most powerful things we can do in times of increasing greed and violence: to cultivate peace within ourselves. When we nurture inner peace, we can remain resilient during turbulent times and maintain the clarity needed to contribute to the solutions we seek.

To support you in this journey, I've created a special gift for you this week. It's a 30-minute gentle guided breath meditation designed to help you end your day in a state of healing, peace, and tranquility. Doing this meditation just before sleep can help you wake up renewed and inspired for the new day.
