For Peace ~ John O’Donohue

9 June 2020 Leave a Comment

As the fever of day calms towards twilight May all that is strained in us come to ease. We pray for all who suffered violence today, May an unexpected serenity surprise them. For those who risk their lives each day for peace, May their hearts glimpse providence at the heart of history. That those who make riches from violence and war Might hear in their dreams the cries of the lost. That we might see through our fear of each other A new vision to heal our fatal attraction to … Continue reading

9 September 2019 Leave a Comment

In this case, it is about the power of the stories that we tell about ourselves, each other, and the world to cohere us in a common purpose. "A lot of the things that we need to do today don't make sense if you are the only one doing them. A story can order the world, so that we see our choices as part of a larger happening. Granted, the “larger happening” unfolding on Earth … Continue reading

A World Without War with Scilla Elworthy | Voices of Meltingpot

19 February 2019 Leave a Comment

"We have more people as refugees than ever in human history. We have a bigger gap between rich and poor than ever in human history. And we also have terrorism and cyber-warfare. None of these issues can be dealt with by weapons. Last year, the world spent $1,686 billion on militarisation, while $30 billion could bring fresh water to every person on the planet, and $340 billion could bring food and nutrition to every person on the planet. And yet we spend multiples of this on guns. It's obscene … Watch video
