Coincidence department: I re-read this poem an hour before I heard about the Haitian earthquake. I thought it a good one to post today, no matter what you believe.

Pray for Peace

by Ellen Bass

Pray to whomever you kneel down to:

Jesus nailed to his wooden or plastic cross,

his suffering face bent to kiss you,

Buddha still under the bo tree in scorching heat,

Adonai, Allah. Raise your arms to Mary

that she may lay her palm on our brows,

to Shekhina, Queen of Heaven and Earth,

to I...
