A Call for Peace
by Chaplain Tilia Giron, RScP
A Call for Peace+…
Not necessarily between warring countries like Israel and the people of Gaza
Nor between Russia versus Ukraine and other Western/like countries
Or among China versus the U.S. and other democratic-type nation states,
But, within our own selves, like you and me.
Let me and you let go of strife and anger/resentment within ourselves and against others.
Rather, let us sit in peace.
Letting go of any resentments/grudges/anger we carry within our conscious or unconscious beings.
Nurturing kindness to others, first to ourselves.
Let us shine our light bright
And help grow the light on the planet – and in our hearts.
Let us turn even more inward and nurture stillness, centeredness, or Isness, as M. Eckhart would say. Perhaps, even,
Intentionally sending love and peace to those we, at best, may not understand, and at worst, to those of whom, we have had unkind thoughts.
And ‘Just let it go,!!!’ as George Strait would bellow,
Love instead.
And call for Peace within you first.
Blessed Be. As within, so without. And so it is!
