your daily rock : make a peace offering

September 21, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

You’ve lost touch with someone who was important in your life. Someone who is still important in your life, but estranged from you.

You had an argument years ago with a family member and haven’t spoken since.

You have exacted violence on yourself year after year by the ways you compare yourself to other people all the time.

There are fissures in our lives, aren’t there?

What if we simply made a peace offering? To them, to ourselves. What if we gave up the need to be right in order to find peace–not in the other person, but in ourselves.

Make a peace offering today.

Love,
