It has been a minute since I wrote a blog…or anything else for that matter!
Something inside me has been holding the door closed but today, I finally asked for it to be opened.
SO much to say!
So much going on in the world that needs healing and I believe that the healing begins within each and every one of us.
Peace will never occur whilst the people proclaiming that they want to help create it are at war within themselves…some of them oblivious to waging that internal war.
Somewhere out there is a quote about how we create Peace beginning with ourselves.
Then we can reach out and bring Peace into our homes, then into our communities, then into our towns and cities, then into our countries…and then, only then, can we bring Peace into the world!
Some of the current global leaderships think that they can skip across all the many stages and go straight into creating Peace in the world…and some want a Nobel Peace prize for doing that!
I would giggle, as I have many times about such people, but it is not funny. It is sad, wrong and for many people who are watching the world stage, it feels very scary.
I have tended to stay away from commenting on most political theatrics because I don’t like the ‘debate’ that it can spark. Even though my husband has improved my debating skills exponentially, conflict and I are not yet good friends.
This isn’t a political piece though, but it may cause some disagreement…and that is okay.
We are all entitled to our opinion and I respect that not everyone thinks in the same terms as me. Some (including my family) think that some of my beliefs are laughable…and they are allowed to think that.
My mission isn’t to force them to see my point of view.
My mission is to find Peace within myself so that I can better serve them, not as a Cinderella but as a supporter who is able to function in a calm, compassionate and caring way…which has not always been the case.
I can still find myself amid an emotional storm which makes me forget the Peaceful centre within me. But more frequently, I am able to step back and observe my reactions and choose to step out of the drama of them. Peace in my own heart, Peace in the world. Lxx
