“Teach only love for that is what you are.”

As we approach the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War it can be a time for reflection and resetting.

We honor those among us that carry the badge of military action past and present in defense of Freedom because greatness lies in all our hearts to be a warrior of peace and service.

Peace comes from knowing peace.

In the beginning of any movement be it war or peace, there are tiny agreements to take action toward the end goal.  Tiny agreements of the heart and the mind and the spirit.  Tiny agreements that open the doors for growth and possibility or death and destruction.  Tiny agreements that set the stage for all that follows.

Let your heart take you somewhere you never imagined.  Let being in service be your guide.

Love comes from being Loving.

The Vietnam War happened as war happens every day uncovering the brightest and the darkest parts of the human heart.

We have to start somewhere to ignite change and bring forward the space of our hearts that knows peace, to shelter, educate, inspire and develop an interconnected community of man in service to the best in each other.  Offering a hand so we can move together in one society, not separate societies of inequity.

Love is meant to  be in action bringing peace on earth.  

Each of us is in the perfect position to achieve the sort of inner peace heretofore unheard of.  Creating lasting sustainable peace on earth.  It is time to make a shift and there are No Limits in what is possible when we live in a PRACTICE OF HUMANITY

For this month in remembrance of the Vietnam War and all whose lives where touched in its aftermath an affirmation of Inner Peace…

Peace comes from knowing peace
Love comes from being Loving
Gifts come from wholly giving

In this light
Peace becomes
My deepest brilliance 
Glowing brightly 

Step not timidly on the path
Flow forward 
Fully
Alive
And
Alight

Peace is mine
My calling card
Falling with me
Radiating through me

Blossoming all around me
Witnessing what I have done
Peace realized

I wake 
Hearing the bluebirds of the Angels 
Joining in the dance of Love
Free

I own my state of peace

In grace
