I was moved by two very different stories recently. One involved the niece of a close friend. The other is presently being splashed across the news. The former dealt with inner turmoil. Looking for peace. To be accepted by others. Much of the struggle seems to revolve around the importance of accepting yourself.
The daily tragedy being unleashed on the world stage in Ukraine deals with this same issue of peace. As different as the two situations may be, a similarity exists at the core. Thich Nhat Hanh stated … How do you want to create peace, if there is no peace inside yourselves?
Pray for peace…
