Today's meditation includes these words from the women's creed written by Robin Morgan at the Women's Conference in Bejing: "Bread. A clean sky. Active peace. A woman's voice singing. The army disbanded. The harvest abundant. The wound healed. The child wanted. The prisoner freed. . ."
I am filled with such love when I read these words. Oh, my heart aches at the thought of a child being unwanted. My heart aches at the prisons we keep ourselves in, just as it aches for those who have been falsely imprisoned.
And yes, my heart aches for those who have done a crime that ended in prison time. Justice has been served, but perhaps with too harsh of a hand. I am filled with love for those who did not see the circumstances of their choice, or thought they had not choice.
I read the quoted words above and feel what peace might be like. Blessed be the peacemakers. Blessed be those who believe in peace as strongly as those who believe in war. Blessed be the one. Blessed be the all.
