31 March

A peaceful spirit is at home in crystal clear waters running deep, in a perfect blue sky of horizon vast, and in warm glowing embers of brilliant spark.

But what of the earth, and all whom inhabit this land, and endlessly take for one’s needs? Where is the peace we all wish for and know lies hidden within us, if only it were freed? We walk on the soil, and grubby, our feet stained with wrong-doing and errs of judgement past, we have little regard for the tracks we are leaving, and the hoards who will blindly follow our path.

Peace is internal, natural, and grown from serenity, humility and sharing what is known with the wider community. It is a giver of life eternal, and soul-filled with joy and a love which, in giving, is never needy nor asks for a skerrick for self.

Tread lightly the road you have chosen this life. Take care to neither disturb nor alarm others in your wake. Be gentle and kind and graceful in movement. Move with thought, and act with love, and complete with skill your destined race.

For, each one of us who leaves this place far richer for their presence, thus inspires others to so do, and thus, in turn, all life will follow, and then, so effortlessly, will our true homeland be restored to the very place which had, at one stage, not so long ago, appeared to reek of hatred, anger and shame.

See the results of actions taken positively, on cue, and know each step you take in peace will thus ensue for all who take your place behind you too.
