International Day of Peace

On September 21 we celebrate International Day of Peace (“Peace Day”). Established in 1981 by a unanimous United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to peace above all differences and to contribute to building a culture of peace. Consider taking this opportunity to make peace in your own relationships, to quiet the quarrels in your day-to-day life. Personal ceasefire may be about making room in your heart and speaking peacefully with those with whom you disagree. Imagine what would happen if aggressiveness were transformed into openness and confrontations were turned into thoughtful conversations. Imagine what a whole day of ceasefire would mean to humankind.

Autumn Invites Us

On our walks we find leaves beginning to decompose. Are they telling us about their power to re-energize the Earth’s soil by their decay? Rather than resisting change, can we leave the place of comfort for the discomfort of the unknown? Autumn invites us to surrender. Unless the wheat seed dies it cannot sing a new birth!
