Inner Peace

Inner Peace


Many people talk about "inner peace" and yet live in a world of riotous inner rage. Our circumstances during these times make it so difficult to achieve and maintain a sense of inner peace. I have been so shocked since moving back to Seattle to hear of murders, kidnappings, disasters of one kind or another every single day. No exaggeration. How does one sustain peace in such an environmnet? We talk about war in the Holy Lands, but what about the war at home? How can we create a space for our own little piece of land, once so beautiful and gracious with offerings of food, shelter, energy, beauty. I don't have the answer for this, but I think it's worth consideration, even if it has been considered before. Perhaps during this time we need not to go to Temple or Mass or other religious services, but we need to create a Peace Service, which comes together regularly, is open to everyone, and concentrates on peace in our own homes, our own hearts. Just a thought from N.
