Give me peace,
not a hopeless resignation,
giving into the darkness,
but a growing certainty that
one day Light will dawn.
Give me peace,
not a deadening novocain
that robs outrage,
but a quiet awareness of Presence
in the angst of the day.
Give me peace,
not a passionless state
of not-seeing, not knowing,
but a fierce, calm clarity
about what matters most.
Give me peace,
not a smugness or pretense,
but an internal sense of being held
that allows me to live as outrageously
as one who is loved might live.
——
Peace I leave with you;
my peace I give you.
John 14:27
