Such a powerful combination – love and peace.
Over the past several months, I’ve noticed how much the energies of anger, hate and divisiveness are being fed. Add to that the fear that is blanketing our conversations and the news, and it almost seems trite to speak of love and peace.
However, I am someone who believes that if I do nothing else, I can be a voice for peace and love. In this way, I am creating energy that supports, rather than breaks down.
Sometimes, it is as simple as eye contact in the parking lot of a grocery store – with a nod that all is ok for now. Another time, It’s waiting several feet back from the crosswalk as an elderly person makes their way across.
More than simple acts of connection however, I need to remember that every time I choose not to engage the fear and anger, I have stopped the flow of that energy toward me. When I go a step further and engage with love and in a peaceful manner, I turn the energy around and begin to snuff out the flames of hate.
Imagine what is possible when love comes first and peace is the guide.
Imagine…
I choose Peace!
So do I, Larry. So do I.
