Thoughts Along the Way . . .

“Be the change you wish to see in the world!” is the way Mahatma Gandhi put it. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” is the way Martin Luther King, Jr. put it. If we want to help bring peace and love and harmony into our broken and hurting world then it makes sense that we begin by bringing it into our own lives. When we come from a place of peace within ourselves, rooted and grounded in a deep and abiding awareness of God’s peace, then our actions in the world are much more likely to contribute to peace in the world around us. It is not always easy to find that peaceful center, and even more challenging to stay there. And it is a spiritual practice that is well worth the effort – one step, one breath, one peaceful intention at a time.
