Peace on Earth, What is the Cost?

A heart, a soul, a shared life, and abundant love.

I want to believe …

Between war and peace, we choose peace,
Between love and hate, we choose love,
Between vindictiveness and forgiveness, we choose forgiveness,
We choose life over death,
We choose hope over despair,
Between ignorance and knowledge, we choose knowledge.
Between selfishness and generosity, we choose generosity.
Between apathy and empathy, we choose empathy.

What is the cost of:

Walking a mile in another person’s shoes?
Listening to someone’s story?
Turning the other cheek?
Using less so others have more?

What will become of our world if we do not let forgiveness, love, kindness, courage, and grace… be the forerunners?

I pray we find world community by letting go of our fears and responding non-violently.

Ceasefire now, permanently. All Palestinian photos from Gaza are taken via Fatima on Instagram, and she is in Time magazine for the top 100 photos of the year. To see more photography from Time 2024 tap here.
