them. We're like a child standing in a beautiful park with his eyes shut tight. We don't need to imagine trees, flowers, deer, birds, and sky; we merely need to open
our eyes and realize what is already here, who we really are -- as soon as we quit pretending we're small or unholy. "
~Anonymous

~Buddha

"If you and I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone in the world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world...”

sacrifice ourselves.”

Divine Law is
not judgement or denial of self- truths. Divine Law is honoring harmony that comes from a peaceful mind, an open heart, a true tongue, a light step,
