You may ask yourself,
What can I possibly do to bring peace to this troubled world?
The greatest thing—maybe the only lasting thing—is to begin within.
To do the quiet, grace filled work of surrendering and softening, of meeting the darkness that has gathered in you over time. That heaviness—those old wounds, defenses, fears— they’ve simply obscured the deeper truth of who you are.
A being of love. A living thread of the Source itself.
No matter how it appears on the surface, the universe is not broken. It is not cold. It is not indifferent. It is still, always, seeking to birth love.
It is love.
And as we turn inward, and make space for that love again, within ourselves, as we let it rise through the cracks and edges of our hearts,
we become its vessel.
We become peace.
And that changes everything.
