What can we do now?
The question lingers in time
“Take care of the fear
~
Find self compassion
Bring peace home to yourself”
Thoughts let go for now
~
There is always hope
Wings of change are taking flight
Hearts beat with Presence
~
Namaste
Haiku – what can we do now?
Find Your Middle Ground 
I saw three key words in each haiku – fear, peace, and hope. I think if we can find peace, I am hopeful that the fear will dissipate.

Thank you Jim. Yes, we all hope for peace in the world and that our fear will subside when that happens…. But the reality is that there is never real peace in the external until we find a way to be peaceful within ourselves. 💐

but it seems like if we want that external peace, we have to rely not only on ourselves to find inner peace, but for others to do so as well.

Inner peace can be catching… but less so than anger!

Question, Compassion, Hope… this is the feeling from reading your words, Val: Question all the chaos going on, and speak out/act out with compassion, because with hope we will find our peace. Beautiful words and thoughts for this weekend and beyond. Wishing you well, Val ~ thank you for sharing such a beautiful haiku.

To heal self…through this journey. Go beyond those conditions we place on ourselves, so we can then appreciate what we’ve discovered in that love found. Great Haiku Val, and indeed ‘hearts beat with presence’ on that path 🤗❤️🙏
