A prayer for Ukraine

After reading the wartime diary of Yevgenia Belorusets I felt the need to share it with others.

I created this mandala to vent my feelings, as an act of prayer for peace in Ukraine (and the whole world!) I am sharing it here now to have an excuse to talk about the matter.

I grew up going to school with several Ukrainian immigrant kids and that makes this horrible event just that much more real to me.

Of course this is far from the only important thing happening in the world but it is certainly a reflection of the state of the world as a whole. Too much violence, too little compassion. Civilians suffering the consequences of their political leaders’ greed. Same crap that’s been going on for thousand of years.

I will always side against injustice and violence. My hope is to inspire others to do the same.

We can’t do all the good the world needs but the world needs all the good we can do.
