There is Peace…On every front…

Isn’t it strange how what was once thought to be so important that it was worth fighting over, no longer has any importance…when something more extreme enters the picture, like a life or death pandemic?

Has anyone noticed that there has been no warring or terrorist attacks…anywhere?  There has been no mention of wars or conflicts anywhere…and whatever is going on in conflicts…Covid-19 will put an end to those soon enough…

This virus is blind to hatred…discrimination…racism…prejudice…skin color…ethnicity…language…culture…young…old…rich…poor…celebrity…famous…stations in life…careers…royalty…the good…the bad…the beautiful…the not so beautiful…as far as its concerned…no one is safe…no one will be spared… Unless we turn it around…by paying attention…by listening…and acting in the best interest of others as well as ourselves…

And in order to see the big picture we must practice love and compassion.

I want to share another one of my favorite songs with you…  Let There Be Peace On Earth… When you read these words, feel them…put yourself into them and live them…because everything begins and ends with us…and if we close our hearts to what is possible for every last one of us who are presently residents of this planet Earth…we will be reminded by any means necessary…and the reminder sitting on everyone’s doorstep right now…is Covid-19…

Let There Be Peace On Earth

And let it begin with me

Let There Be Peace On Earth

The peace that was meant to be

With God as our Father

Brothers (and sisters) all are we

Let me walk with my brother (sister)

In perfect harmony

Let peace begin with me

Let this be the moment now

With ev’ry step I take

Let this be my solemn vow

To take each moment and live

Each moment in peace eternally

Let There Be Peace On Earth

And let it begin with me

Songwriters: Jill Jackson/Sy Miller

I took a little poetic license to add “sister(s)” because that’s the way it is…

Everything has taken a back seat to Covid-19…and it will be here…living amongst us…guiding us back to the basics of life…living… and what matters most…Humanity.

There is peace on every front…

And it begins with you….
