oh weary and suffering world, may hearts open and may wisdom arise. may the truth of our interdependence and our recognition of such truth lead us to uplift the dignity of all people, recognizing their sacredness and right to exist. may this give rise to a kinship, a familial love for all people without exclusion. may such love be a light in the darkness. may such love be embodied in our words and actions, and may we be steadfast in our opposition to violence in all forms, including and especially unprovoked violence aimed at others. and while we may honor the right to act with force in self-defense, may we work creatively and tirelessly for solutions that do not extend the reach of harm and destruction, but elevate in empathy a caring for and ending of suffering for all peoples and life, including the earth itself. 

may it be so.
