Today many wake up to the news of more upheaval in the city riots along with the concern of the new spread of Covid 19 through mass gatherings. As you go about your day, whether you are out in the community or sheltering in place, I encourage you to stay with prayers and thoughts of Peace, for your self first and those of your circle, and in your own way, expand. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., "set a mood of peace."
“World peace through nonviolent means is neither absurd nor unattainable. All other methods have failed. Thus we must begin anew. Nonviolence is a good starting point. Those of us who believe in this method can be voices of reason, sanity, and understanding amid the voices of violence, hatred, and emotion. We can very well set a mood of peace out of which a system of peace can be built.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Pandemic is still with us. We have learn a great deal through hard human experience and through a dedicated scientific and medical community. As we continue to find our way, as individual, we can do our best to "be voices of reason, sanity and understanding". It can be difficult when emotions run high and you have your personal fears and struggles. Yet, understanding yourself as a unique individual who is part of the whole is the core of your spiritual resources. We can move forward in a mood of peace. (Susan Nettleton)
