“So live in the light of resurrection and renewal of this world, and of yourself, in a glorius, never-ending, joyful dance of grace.” — Tim Keller
Focus on the Good
When you focus on the good, the good gets better.
I know this is true. So why can it be so difficult to put into practice?
Unity
“There is beauty and power in unity. We must be united in heart and mind. One world, one people.” —Lailah Gifty Akita
I have decided to set a theme for this month. It is unity. As I began look for quotes sadness came over me as I realized that there are people who would disagree and even want to start an argument of the concept of unity. But as children of the light we must carry on, united in heart, mind and spirit.
Remember there is power in unity.
Life in Six Words
Bringing light to a dark world.
It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these. What are your six words?
Basic Peace Work
“If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace
Don’t you get frustrated by how difficult we make life in this world? We can all smile, be peaceful and happy. And as Thich Nhat Hanh said, “This is the most basic kind of peace work.”
We can’t let this world distract us. We are still called to live in peace and to be peace. In these difficult times we can’t continue to say “Well I’m not going to do that until others do.”
Don’t let this world get you all riled up. Start your day by writing or speaking “Today will be my peaceful day.” Live by those words. This is the most basic type of peace work and something we can all do.
Creating Peace
“Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be achieved unless we first establish peace within our own minds. We can send so-called ‘peacekeeping forces’ into areas of conflict, but peace cannot be oppossed from the outside with guns. Only by creating peace within our own mind and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world.” ―Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Sometimes Peace Comes Quietly
Peace doesn’t always arrive with fanfare. Sometimes it comes quietly, like a soft breath at the edge of a busy day. It waits for us to notice — not by forcing stillness, but by inviting us to rest in what is already here.
Peace isn’t the absence of noise, responsibility, or the world’s endless motion. Peace is the quiet center inside you — the place that never moves, even when everything else does.
It’s the moment you pause long enough to feel your own breath. The moment you remember that you are more than your to‑do list, more than the expectations of others, more than the swirl of the day.
Peace is not something you chase. It’s something you allow.
It arrives when you soften your shoulders. When you unclench your jaw. When you let your thoughts drift like clouds instead of gripping them like anchors.
Peace is the gentle voice that says: “You are safe. You are held. You are enough.”
Take ten minutes today to visit that place. Close your eyes. Breathe in slowly. Let the world fall away.
Peace will meet you there — not as a reward, but as a reminder of who you already are.
Peace Thought for Today
‘I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.’ – Martin Luther King, Jr.
