🕊 Om Shanti Shanti Om ðŸ™
Wherever we journeyed in India, to all manner of people, no matter their job or standing, age or religious belief, from temples of Jain, Sikh and Hindu, to Muslim mosques, I gave origami Peace doves.
My prayer for Peace is embedded in every dove I fold and give. I would smile and put the dove in a waiting outstretched hand and say, “Shanti,” truly feeling the connection of our ONEness.
Each dove was received graciously. Some were held to their heart, a few were kissed, tucked directly in a pocket, hung from mirror in tuk-tuk or car, placed on the wall or cabinet handle, etc...So many given, that I had to make more as we traveled, bumping along on the bus.
🕊 Everywhere, the world over, we all basically want the same: to provide food, clean water and adequate shelter for loved ones, accessibility of education, the freedom of personal expression.
With the current unrest in India, I visualize a Peaceful resolution, where tolerance, understanding and compassion triumphs, for all.
Let us realize and respect the LOVE that connects us all.
*Dedicated To KindSpring friend KMBhai, whose city of Kanpur is one of many being challenged by policies that are causing unrest and division.
