O Beyond Understanding, O Wellspring of Peace,
be peace on my tongue
and peace in each breath
be peace where I connect
and peace when I am alone
be peace enough for this one life
and peace enough for this universal life
let frustration be tempered by dialogue
and disaster be met with willing hands
carry hope into the heart of cynicism
and healing to earth’s wounds fresh with oil
where I can, let me be part of your peace
and where I cannot…well, remind me that I can
not because I am so good at peacemaking
but because you are, in action and in essence.
You are Peace Beyond Understanding.
