I’ve been thinking a lot about peace lately. 
   I always do this time of year — usually referring to December as the season of peace — but given the conflicts and chaos around the globe, my thoughts are running deeper. 
   We need a deeper peace, everywhere, at this time. I keep seeing the signs, but I’m not feeling it like I usually do.
   I need to try harder.
   Each of us needs to do what we can to foster peace, promote peace, acknowledge peace, or live in peace where we can, however we can. I know it sounds overly optimistic, but we need to try.
   Love thy neighbour has never been a more crucial mission or message. 
   Familial love, spiritual love, physical or romantic love, or friendship, has never seemed more important to me. 
   To you I offer peace and love in whatever form you will accept it. . 
   I give my peace to do what you can to make today a little better than yesterday.
