Remember Us: A Prayer for Justice & Peace
“a world in which the children of Sarah, / and the children of Hagar will finally live in peace.”
What Shall We Name this Newborn War?
“What stories will we tell this infant / war, what songs sing to it?”
Prayer in this Time of War in Israel and Palestine
“May love flow from our broken hearts, and may their yearning return us to our humanity.”
Mirrors
“We reach to touch souls
as luminous as mirrors / so we might reflect light back to each other.”
I Do Not Live in Israel
“I do not live in Israel but I have / tasted all her fruits…”
Shadows of War
“Reasons mean nothing in the harsh light of consequence / Reasons are but shadows of war”
Me + Israel
“Maybe you don’t know about my / passion for justice and integrity.”
Hope Amidst the Horror
“and so I stumble / through my workday, / weeping in between meetings…”
Enough
“May we not be afraid / To act big
and save the world.”
But One Journey
“Into what space do we turn on our winding ways / to the place of tears and grief?”
