What would it take for you to be a Servant of Peace? Pema Chodron writes about this from a Buddhist perspective in her book "When Things Fall Apart", which I highly, again, recommend! She says "we don't set out to save the world; we set out to wonder how other people are doing and to REFLECT ON HOW OUR ACTIONS AFFECT OTHER PEOPLE'S HEARTS!"
My invitation this Peace Tuesday is to wonder how your actions affect, not just others, but other's hearts. The operative word here is WONDER! When we wonder we are curious, unattached, noticing. There is no blame or guilt because those ways of being actually stop us from looking deeply at our own actions.
So, today please wonder how you affect others hearts and notice how others affect your heart. How could you serve Peace today by lovingly touching the heart of a "stranger"!
Love,
Darlene
