Peace

There are days when being “awake” to the truth of the conditions of the world is more than our hearts may feel able to bear, but these are the moments when taking stock of the opportunities at hand can offer us greater agency. As we witness heartbreaking loss and violence in our own backyards and around the globe, the path of gratefulness is offered as an antidote — a way to counter the downward spirals within ourselves and the world, a journey toward both internal and external peace, and to consider our place on the path of “love in action.” Grateful Living asks us to stop to experience our heart’s truth, to look in order to notice all that warrants our care and appreciation, and to go — taking action that expresses our deepest commitments to a peaceful, thriving, and sustainable world, held as sacred by all, for all.
