We ALL contribute peace to this world.

✍️ Today is going to be our peaceful day. This is the beginning—a fresh start, a new opportunity to live with awareness and care.

May we be mindful of our breath as it flows in and out, anchoring us to this present moment. May we be mindful of our daily actions, bringing intention and gentleness to everything we do—the words we speak, the way we listen, the kindness we offer, even in the smallest gestures.

May peace shine brightly in our hearts, and from that inner light, may compassion flow naturally to those who are struggling. May loving-kindness soften our responses and warm our connections. May unity remind us that we are all walking this path together, bound by our shared longing for a more peaceful world.

Let us walk together in spirit today—wherever you are, whatever you’re doing. With each mindful breath you take, with each compassionate choice you make, you are helping peace bloom more beautifully in this world.

We are not separate. We are not alone. We are walking together, each of us contributing to the garden of peace that grows when we tend to our own hearts and extend that care outward to everyone around us.

Today is our peaceful day. Let us live it with awareness, with love, with the understanding that every moment we choose peace, we help create more peace in the world.

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace. 🙏

May all beings everywhere be happy and free

✍️ Peace on the Silent Road - Sometimes, the road we walk is not lined with crowds or filled with welcoming voices. Sometimes, it is just us, the silence, and the path ahead.

Yesterday, we walked on a red clay road—wet from recent rain, muddy beneath our feet, with no one watching, no one waiting to greet us. Just quiet earth and open sky.
But even there, especially there, peace was still shining.

Because peace does not depend on applause or recognition. It does not require witnesses or perfect conditions. It does not fade when the road becomes difficult or when we walk alone through the mud.
Peace walks with us in the silent moments just as much as in the celebrated ones. It is there in the steady rhythm of our steps, in the breath we take while navigating slippery ground, in the choice to keep moving forward even when no one is watching.

The world may not always see our journey. The path may not always be smooth or clear. But the work of cultivating peace continues—in the quiet, in the challenge, in the simple act of placing one foot in front of the other, again and again.

Yesterday’s muddy road told us this: peace is not about where we walk or who sees us walking. It is about what we carry inside, what we nurture within ourselves, what we choose to be regardless of circumstances.

So we keep walking. Through mud and sunshine, through crowds and solitude, through roads that are easy and roads that test us. Because peace is not conditional. It is a choice. And it shines brightest not when everything is perfect, but when we choose to carry it forward anyway.

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.

Happy Winter Solstace! Please enjoy this article. I hope it inspires you to light a flame and ignite your inner flame on this day of rebirth.

The winter solstice, December 21, marks the rebirth of the Sun in its yearly journey over the Earth. The Sun (Surya) at a yogic level represents our immortal inner Self (Atman) as the Supreme Divine…

This was shared by a mentor/friend. It is beautiful and speaks to my heart’s aspirations. I hope it inspires you to follow your heart!

The mistress in the art of living weaves no boundary between her work and her play, her labor and her leisure, her body and her mind, her study and her rest, her love and her devotion. She hardly knows which is which. She simply follows her vision of excellence in whatever she does, leaving others to wonder whether she is working or playing. To her, she is always doing both.
— inspired by James A. Michener

The connection between us and the universe put so beautifully. Love this! ❤️

Sleeping in the Forest by Mary Oliver

I thought the earth
remembered me, she
took me back so tenderly, arranging
her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds. I slept
as never before, a stone
on the riverbed, nothing
between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated
light as moths among the branches
of the perfect trees. All night
I heard the small kingdoms breathing
around me, the insects, and the birds
who do their work in the darkness. All night
I rose and fell, as if in water, grappling
with a luminous doom. By morning
I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.

Having met Jim many years ago when I took an herbal class from him, I can say it is an experience I will never forget. He is informative, engaging - a true delight to learn from. If you are from the Cleveland area and interested in herbalism, I highly recommend spending the afternoon with Jim.

Join herbalist jim mcdonald in exploring the grounds of Oxbow Orchard to discover the virtues of the myriad wild edible and medicinal weeds and wildflowers that grow there.

Be the light!

One small act of kindness can change everything for another being. May we practice kindness with every word we speak and every action we take. ❤️
