ONE MINUTE FOR PEACE

One Minute for Peace

four year old boy meditating

September. The start of a new season and school year. A whole new year for some cultures and creeds. With a World Day of Prayer and a World Day of Peace. A day with memories of horror too. Instead of dwelling on past pains and present fears, we can each be a source of hope and healing.Please join in "One Minute For Peace." Set an alarm for 1:11 pm each day. When it rings, pause, center yourself, and focus on peace for one minute. Envision peace. Pray for peace in your own way. Meditate or send waves of love throughout the world. Forgive someone for something. Be guided by the love, compassion, and wisdom in your heart.Let's engage the children too.I have my 4-year-old twin grandchildren join me whenever we are together at 1:11.We started about two weeks ago.Usually we sit in silence for about 30 seconds and then ask for blessings for all the children of the world, the grown ups too, then all the animals, the plants, the lands, and the seas, with an amen at 1:12.It's simple. Easy to do. And potentially powerful too.Help build a culture of peace.
