Peace Prayer

O God, we are one with you,
You have made us one with you.
You have taught us that if we are open to one another,
You dwell in us.
Help us to preserve this openness
and to fight for it with all our hearts.

—Thomas Merton, from The Seven Storey Mountain

Sigh.
This prayer is spanking me hard.

Peace to you, friend.
Happy New Year.

Erin, it spoke to me this morning specifically about peace in relationships, honesty, authenticity and hope that I need to fight for with all my heart, my open heart.

Shalom to you my friend.
