Don’t Laugh

Ask me my greatest dream.
I will tell you, world peace.

No, I don’t suppose there has
ever been a time when
love and justice fully ruled;
just pockets of places,
people gathered together
to make goodness happen.

Peace, peace isn’t scattered,
it must be sown, tilled into
the very ground of our being.
So much work to be done.
Sounds scriptural, doesn’t it;
We must be the seeds and
sowers, reaping the fruit
of our labors together.

Peace-making requires wisdom,
collaboration, empowerment,
kindness, compassion;
just forces of change

We need one another.

One thought on “Don’t Laugh

  1. Apt, as always, and especially timely in advance of this year’s September 21 celebration of another International Day of Peace during the 80th year of the existence of the United Nations. Peace is both a goal and a way of being. Thanks!
