A Week of Peace

If just for a moment we could grab the quiet that is due to us.

We could fly in our minds

To places of comfort and see

The depths of what we can find.

We would settle in to life as it is

Not as we think it should be

We would appreciate each moment

We would be set free.

This week, let’s all plan to be gentle and kind, with each other and especially with our self.

Let’s fill the kettle for the next person in the staff room.

Let’s hold the door for a stranger.

Let’s stop for a pedestrian.

Let’s offer our loved one that last piece of brownie.

Let’s give our self the moments to be alone and rejoice.

Let’s offer our hand to someone who needs it.

Let’s be gentle and kind and see what unfolds.
