Balanced Mind with Julie Potiker

Meditation for Peace
For Peace, by John O’Donohue, Irish poet and philospher. As the fever of day calms towards twilightMay all that is strained in us come to ease. We pray for all who suffered violence today,May an unexpected serenity surprise them. For those who risk their lives each day for peace,May their hearts glimpse providence at the heart of history. That those who make riches from violence and warMight hear in their dreams the cries of the lost. That we might see through our fear of each otherA new vision to heal our fatal attraction to aggression. That those who enjoy the privilege of peaceMight not forget their tormented brothers and sisters. That the wolf might lie down with the lamb,That our swords be beaten into ploughshares And no hurt or harm be doneAnywhere along the holy mountain.
