Dona nobis pacem


Last November, for BlogBlast for Peace, I offered a simple reflection of how I see and acknowledge ☮Peace☮ everywhere. I know this to be true no matter the circumstance, no matter the challenge, peace is everywhere, for peace is a "peace" of that from which we are made.

I do my best to apply compassion in all that I experience, meager and mighty. I may not always be as successful or as graceful as I might like, but I am willing to act from a place of love and to do my best to see it, honor it, be it, and express it to the world.


Be it in memory.

Be it in the gardens.

Be it in "work."

Be it in "hobby."

Be it in relationships.

Be it in collaborations.

Be it in life.

Be it in death.

Be it in rite.

Be it in creation.


Dream it. Do it. Make it manifest.

Peace. ☮

    And your posts always inspires me totally. BE IT.
    Exactly.

    I like this "for peace is a "peace" of that from which we are made"
    Indeed.

    I don't even know how to say thank you for all the hard work and promoting you've done in the Bee Hive for the past several weeks on Facebook and everywhere else I see your footprints. You are an incredible advocate for peace and gentleness in all that you. I see the passion and commitment in the tiniest leaf you might pick up for one of your creations to the boldness of this post and others before it.

    May we all strive to be as bold and as beautiful in our daily walk.

    Mimi
