Might this be the fast we are all called to for Peace?
"This is what the Lord asks of you, only this;
That you act justly, that you love tenderly;
That you walk humbly with your God." Amos 6:8

"whatever happens
to the world around
show me your purpose
show me your source

even if the world
is Godless and chaos
show me your anchor
show me your love

if there is hunger
if there is famine
show me your harvest
show me your resource

if life is bitter
everywhere snakes everywhere poison
show me your garden
show me your meadow

if the sun and the moon fall
if darkness rules the world
show me your light
show me your flame

if i have no mouth
or tongue to utter
words of your secrets
show me your fountain

i'll keep silence
how can i express
your life when mine
still is untold"

"Rumi, Fountain of Fire"--Muslim saint and Poet
Translation by Nader Khalili Burning Gate Press, Los Angeles, 1994

"Nothing is more practical than finding God,
that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute
Final way. What you are in love with, what
seizes your imagination, will affect everything.
It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning,
what you do with your evenings,
how you spend your weekends, what you read,
what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with
Joy and gratitude.
Falling in love, stay in love
And it will decide everything."
