We are humans - illogical, emotional, and passionate. However, I see us losing what makes us human - empathy and the ability to think logically. When one normalizes violence against anyone with an opposing viewpoint, be aware that it’s a two edged sword. It’s not about who the winning team is. When we revel in the adverse fate of someone who thinks differently than us, why should we expect anyone...

This song by Swami Kriyananda is my favorite inspiration about Peace:

Peace.

More Than You Know

fragments fleeting.

a laugh.

kind words.

Far Flung,

orbits apogee, perigee.

Unrelenting tides ebb and flow.

words on the wind ,

profoundly touch, alter,

butterfly kisses.

forgotten kindness,

remembered anon.

so many exchanges,

renewed.

Chronos marches,

Eros sublime.

Memosyne recalls

soul entwined.

beyond words, ineffable,

friends.

I’m in the last phase of my life, but i am so inspired by the energy i feel from young people. I think that as they come into leadership positions of our societies, they will abandon the old ways of thinking and being that separate us from one another. Hopefully we become a united world rather than separate divided countries.

Thank you for the opportunity to be in a community while I pray for peace.

平和の祈り
| 聖フランシスコ

主よ 私をあなたの平和の道具としてお使いください。
憎しみのあるところに愛を、争いのあるところに赦しを、
分裂のあるところに一致を、
疑いのあるところに信仰を、
誤りのあるところに真理を、
絶望のあるところに希望を、
闇のあるところに光を、
悲しみのあるところに喜びを、
もたらすことができますように。

主よ、慰められることよりも慰めることを、
理解されることよりも理解することを、
愛されることよりも愛することを、
私が求めますように。

私たちは、与えることで受け、
赦すことで赦され、
自分を捨てて死に、
永遠の命に生まれるのですから。 アーメン

Saint Francis / Peace Prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me so...

Today I saw an interview with Justin Trudeau. He was asked about Trump's trade war. He said the people of Canada are not against the people of America. As people, we stand together. We are friends. We are co-habitants of this continent. Together, we can see that the US government just has a short-sighted, unfortunate, unproductive policy.

The policy will cause suffering, more so for the people ...

I love this bit from Rumi.

There is a field

Beyond right

Or wrong . . .

I will meet you there.

To me it talks about peace, about meeting people where they are, as people.

God bless you. God bless all of us together today!

Everyone deserves the freedom to live an authentic life. Your lives matter. Your existence is powerful, and every step you take toward living as your true self is a testament to the strength and resilience within you.

You are deserving of love, respect, and kindness, and your presence in this world makes it a richer, more beautiful place. Never forget that you are valid, worthy, and more than enou...
