In these troubled times, cultivating our sense of peace and extending it to that part of our world within our influence has never been more important. And perhaps a very great challenge is accepting with compassion those whose actions and beliefs seem to be fueling the rancor and hatred. We can learn from the example of James Baldwin to understand others with compassion and so give in neither to despair nor bitterness. In so doing, we can make space for us to continue our work of expanding peace and justice in our actions, our worlds. Image: “Sea of Azov, Ukraine,” by Ольга Сапегина from Pixabay.
