if we desire peace in the world
we have to be brave enough to soften what is rigid in our hearts.
to call ourselves back to compassion,
especially in moments of controversy, fear, un-reason.
to see with the eyes of a mother
who loves all her children.
again and again and again.
please join us in shining the light of mother love
always welcome, always needed.

We indeed do need to be brave enough to soften our hearts throughout each day. If only humanity could do it all at the same time!

Softening the rigid is not always easy, but is always needed!

I hear that call back to compassion. Peace begins with me.

Posting a little late today, but I love your Bouguereau of mother and child. His work always moves me. Peace, yes, peace, the peace that passes understanding. That's what the world needs now.

Sorry to be posting a little late, but I was still working on my photos from my altar exhibition in Boulder. Hope you enjoy the detail photos I have linked to, Rebecca. I wish we were all together in Mexico. I am really missing our trip from last year. Love and best wishes to you!!
