Sarah's CircleFriends are blessings that sustain our journeys. |
As a young girl I would often muse that if everyone was just nice to each other, there would be no war or ugliness in the world. In the 60’s that was supported in songs like “Give Peace a Chance”, “Peace Train,” “I’ve Got Peace Like A River.” Seemed so easy. Now I wonder at how naive I was in thinking a whole world could get along when brothers and sisters, spouses who married because of love, and people who attend the same Christian churches, cannot get along. Love. A very difficult word to live. Peace. It will never come into being without a radical philosophy of Love across human kind. Remember when the image of earth from the moon showed us all how small we were, and united in this blue planet? It brought hope that peace could be attained. Who even thinks about that any more? Instead, I find that peace is something I must attain in my own heart. I do what I can for justice. I do what I can for family. I do what I can to calm the uneasiness of living in this anxious world. This time of year I can find that peace in the sacred music of Christmas, in the giving I see all around me, in the white lights of night that are lighting my neighbor’s homes, in the beautiful messages I receive in my Christmas cards. I send you, my friends, the peace of dark nights, the peace of soft falling snow, the peace of knowing you are loved. --Cynthia
