To our brothers and sisters in Kenya and Yemen, I have heard the devastating news of your land and your people, and I am so sad and heartbroken that I don't know how to respond, and it took me a while to reflect on it. Later, I remember the prayer I wrote a year ago, and shared it again to my friends, as my response in the middle of devastation that happened in Mindanao, Philippines. I'm praying it again for all of you, and sharing it here. May the Songs of Peace echo in our world.

THE SONG OF PEACE A Prayer Poetry
The mountains sing the peace that branches from trees, that whispers in rocks.
The waves sing the peace that kisses the sands, that calls the shores.
The stars sing the peace that sparkles in darkness, that illuminates the void.
The clouds sing the peace that drifts in the skies, that brings Love.
