RESPECTING LIFE

Contrasts Flower and Tree

Why not appreciate the contrasts among us and respect all surface appearances and perspectives about life and the universe... all our differences?

Cultivating reverence for all people and being open to all points of view is what will lift us to new heights of freedom, peace, and prosperity.

We can't stop the "madness" of others but we can stop ourselves from adding to it. We can refrain from mean-spirited talk. We can walk away from it. We can speak for harmony. We can teach the value of respect to all our children by modeling it for them in this way.

Diversity is a good thing. It supports life, growth, healing, and discovering. Let's honor it. We can express what we believe with maturity and grace.

We can bring peace, respect, and kindness into the world, each one of us can. It's the only way...one by one.
