There are no words

I find myself at a loss for words amidst the evil, horror and turmoil that we are watching unfold in the Middle East this week.

While you may likewise find yourself struggling with a broken heart, I offer this reminder that as little as it may seem to be, it is incumbent upon us to fight evil in our own worlds. If each one of us would choose to be kind, honest, loving, generous and true with everyone in our own individual world, while we couldn’t change the whole world, we would certainly be making the world a better place.

Now more than ever, when endless news cycles add to the collective trauma, it is important to take time each day, even on our saddest days, to find those moments of joy and beauty that are part of life.

I leave you with these words of wisdom.

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it. ~ Thomas Jefferson

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. ~ Mother Theresa
