A peace meditation for today:
We remember the past to learn from it. We learn from a history of oppression that all people should be free. We learn from a history of injustice that equality must prevail. We learn from a history of violence how to create peace. We learn from a history of intolerance that love must replace hate, that mutuality must replace individuality, that unity must bridge the divides of centuries.
We honor the past, but we are not of the past. We remember the past to learn from it. Let us learn to sow the seeds of peace wherever they might grow.
How might you sow a seed of peace today?
