Dear Friend in Peace,

When truth is considered an unnecessary inconvenience, people are treated callously and vital institutions are being destroyed, it is ours as People of Peace to speak up for democracy while still maintaining inner peace. One powerful source of strength and tranquility for us is to connect with what is real, to connect with the soothing balm of Mother Nature and our true nature which is Love.

I have recently been blessed by three precious real world experiences with fellow beings. Photos and descriptions follow. May they bring you the awe, gratitude, and peace they brought me.
