I am 100% against all acts of war, violence, invasion, and the like. I also am extremely saddened by the current state of our world and how so many continue to treat each other. I’ve become very weary of all the judgements people keep on throwing at each other, the constant pointing of fingers, and the placing of blame everywhere else, but on ourselves. If you truly want to see change in the world, you must become the change, as no one can do that for you but yourself. Because of this, I have chosen to stage my own form of protest, my act of solidarity, by taking a full week off from my writing between Saturday, March 5th and Friday, March 11th for reflection and prayer. I will only be re-sharing these words each day and providing a single quote. May we all start loving each other a lot more unconditionally and work on building our own inner peace.
“Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.” (Jawaharlal Nehru)
Peace, love, light, and joy,
