THOUGHT FOR SEPTEMBER
The Dove
“Forgive do I creatures all, and let all creatures forgive me” . .
- Jainist Prayer of Peace
These simple words presented themselves to me from the “PRAYING PEACE” cards pack, by the Peace Troubador himself, James Tywman.When we ask for “peace” what is it we really mean? What are we really asking for? An end to all conflict ? A trouble free life? No more worries? To find a connection to something greater than ourselves which will soothe and comfort us? For the kids to just keep quiet for an hour?
Peace is not a state which can be bestowed upon us, it is a state into which we must enter. To enter that state, we must find the key of forgiveness.
To forgive, to truly forgive, requires that we love unconditionally. The hurts we have inflicted upon ourselves and others, and those which have been inflicted upon us by others have to be let go. . . . absolutely. . . with love. Forgiveness frees the forgiven and the forgiver equally.
This simple image of the DOVE represents the potential of that Peace. The ascending flight on wings of Light to a future that is all you would wish it to be.
Be the peace you seek.
Be peace. . . be Love. . . be All.
