I want to know
if you are prepared to live in the world
with its harsh need
to change you. If you can look back
with firm eyes
saying this is where I stand….
I have heard, in that fierce embrace, even
the gods speak of God.
Quote: David Whyte, Fire in the Earth
If grief can be a doorway to love, then let us all weep for the world we are breaking apart so we can love it back to wholeness again.
Quote: Robbin Wall Kimmerer
When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge.
Quote: Tuli Kupferberg, 1923 – 2010, American counterculture poet and author.
Ultimately, we have just one moral duty:
to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves,
more and more peace, and to reflect it towards others.
And the more peace there is in us,
the more peace there will also be in our troubled world.

I wake up in the morning asking myself
what can I do today,
how can I help the world today.

Morning’s first thoughts. As the sun crests the skyline – do we awaken thinking of ourselves or do we reach beyond, praying for open eyes and softened hearts?
The world calls us to greet each day ready to reach out with compassion for all beings.
