peace

“To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do”.

Hermann Hesse (author of Siddhartha)

Let us bring more love, compassion and understanding into the world.

Je ne suis pas Charlie. Je suis Paix.

Namaste

    Beautiful! I have noticed how it lifts the soul to disengage from low energy conversations going on around me too. Thanks for the inspiration….again!

    What a beautiful reminder to awaken to this morning Val. Yes! If we can do nothing else, let us be kinder to one another and to ourselves.

    Great reminder about all we CAN do, and that even the smallest pebble (action) can create a ripple!
