A Post 9/11 Prayer
May beings all live happily and safe,
And may their hearts rejoice within themselves.
Whatever there may be with breath of life,
Whether they be frail or very strong,
Without exception, be they long or short
Or middle-sized, or be they big or small,
Or thick, or visible, or invisible,
Or whether they dwell far or they dwell near,
Those that are here, those seeking to exist –
May beings all rejoice within themselves.
Let no one bring about another’s ruin
And not despise in any way or place.
Let them not wish each other any ill.
Keep creation safe from actions of bitterness.
Be at peace with yourself.
