New Year's Prayer for Peace in Every Land

Susan Kramer


New Year's brings us more acutely to the realization that if we want our planet to survive - people and environment - we must rise above our differences and take on a nurturing world view.

May this prayer spark loving and positive action:

"May we all in every land
Join each other hand in hand.

Setting difference aside
Arms and minds opening wide.

To see the unity that's All
May that become our beck and call.

Striving for the outer peace
Striving for a firm release.

From possessiveness, oppression
To a kind concerned expression.

That our earth sees out as one
As our sun sees us as one.

Humanity, one planet bright
That's how we know it's really right.

To set aside entrenched indifference
And realize that in Love, we're infinite.

Then everyone in every land
Will join together hand in hand."
