Peace is the Way

Peace is a continuous wish.

We wish for it between countries, people and within ourselves.

It cannot just be a wish it must be the manner of our being.

Peace must drive our ideas,, our creations, the form of the world.

Peace is Between Individuals as Well

We hear about  activists who strive to end wars.

That is a wonderful cause.

I don’t think there is any other option.

However, one should not forget the importance of peace between individuals as well.

You can’t stand on a street begging for a war to end and at the same time be violent with another human being.

Peace is not about being individually right, rather finding a joint right.

When I was younger, I was a bit stubborn.

In earlier years, being right had a great importance.

Today, I don’t have a need to be right or for that matter to prove it.

But I do strive to walk a path of a joint right when confrontation occurs.

Peace is not about being individually right, rather finding a joint right.

The One That Our Soul Yearns For

And then there is the inner peace.

The one that our soul yearns for.

I know for me; it is a constant place of learning.

But one that allows my spirit to feel life in a profound way.

These past 9 months have brought much trauma to the world of peace for Israel and Gaza.

At times holding peace for me was too heavy, to hard.

So, I asked others to hold onto it.

Yonatan Zeigen was one of them.

Until my heart and soul would get stronger to hold it again.

And here I am.

I wait for the 120 hostages to return home to their loved ones

In between the moments of sorrow and hope, I hold more of peace on my way.

The Hebrew word Shalom means Hello, Goodbye and Peace.

Peace needs to be at every entrance and every exit.
