Wish for the World

Keren Clark Posey with Ethan and Dyson Posey

How can a family create a daily ritual that passes on high ideals, celebrates the spiritual significance of holidays, and focuses attention on easing the suffering of all beings? Keren Clark Posey has created just such a ritual to share with her children. Each night they gather and take turns choosing a "Wish for the World." The wishes are simple and direct. They cover such areas of concern as the environment, the earth's creatures, war, disease, famines, and genocide:

• Tonight we wish that all adults will mirror tolerance for our children and others.
• We wish for everyone to work harder at resolving conflicts.
• We wish to always remember that the earth is alive.

Imagining the power these wishes could generate if her small circle could be united with others, she has created a book of daily "wishes," three hundred and sixty-five wishes for the world, with the help of her twin sons. Each wish is accompanied by an inspirational quotation. It is her hope that you will join her each day in Wishing for the World.

JANUARY 1

Tonight, as we begin the new year,
our wish is for all people
to have compassion for the suffering
of all beings.

"Every morning, when we wake up, we have
twenty-four brand new hours to live.
What a precious gift! We have the capacity
to live in a way that these twenty-four hours
will bring peace, joy and happiness to ourselves
and others."
-Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace Is Every Step
