Under the shadow of this mountain, turning golden red, we gather today. In this glorious late summer sun we warm ourselves for the frost to come. We gather today under the wing of the Holy One who pleads at all times and in all places: Let there be Peace upon this beautiful blue planet. We yearn for peace. We weep for peace. We long for peace.

We humans are blessed with imagination. Imagine. We can imagine that which is not yet. We can imagine a world in which the wolves are tamed, and the vulnerable live in safety. We can imagine two steps ahead on the road to peace. We can imagine that tomorrow we will be see down the road a little farther. We can imagine, and we can make it so.
In the name of God I call down a Blessing on this Peace Pole, this sign of our longing, and of our determination. May this Sign of Peace remind us that our hope for peace is a hope for wellbeing of the whole world May the Holy One sustain us in our determination to fill our corner of this world with peace. AMEN
