My 12 year old daughter and I have started
the day with prayer. We will be reading poems and prayers to each other
and observing an hour of quiet meditation. Later this afternoon we are
going to walk our meditation path in the back yard and remember that
peace and love go hand in hand. If we seek to remember that all being
seeks happiness and freedom from suffering and that all beings have
that God given right, then it helps us to be un-judging of others and
helps us to see people with the eyes of Love and compassion.
One
poem that we love to read and will be reading today is called LOVE, by
Poland's Queen Jadwiga (over 700 years old):
Nor
can that endure which has not its foundations upon Love, For Love alone
diminishes not, but shines with its own light, makes an end of discord,
softens the fires of hate, restores PEACE in the world, brings together
the sundered, redresses wrong, Aids all and injures none. And who so
invokes its aid will find PEACE and safety, and have no fear of future
ill. Peace, Love and Light to all.
