SILENCE

Your dad as he says good-bye to his two uncles who are leaving to fight for peace.  Today there will be a moment of silence as we remember all the soldiers who have died fighting for justice and liberation.

Clifford and William both died away from home when their lives should have just been beginning.

War is horrible beyond words and so many Innocent people die needlessly.  Fear drives the need to dominate  and control  and conquer. We look back on the battles that have been fought for our freedom and our peace and we remember all the lives of the families that were torn apart and loved ones killed.  So we who live on search to find meaning and purpose in our lives.

I know that I need to take time to be silent,
to renew soul energy and to deepen the inner spirituality that has a reverence for life
and a willingness to be compassionate and kind to those I find in my life.

 So a deeper appreciation of life and family and friends!

Today we had a walk in the forest, watched the Rembrance Day Service on T.V. and then I am now going to visit at the Nursing Care Home.
