If we have no peace,
it is because we have forgotten
that we belong to each other.
Peace will come when we realize we’re extensions of one another, that we’re all part of God, drops in the same ocean, children of the same Mother and siblings much alike.
Today I AM practicing being a sibling to everyone I meet. I now know that we come from the same source.
