When I sat down to write my newsletter this week, I found myself struggling. I had planned on sharing a new recipe with you but somehow that seemed so trivial compared to what is happening in the world right now.
As I listen to the news about the invasion of Ukraine, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of helplessness. When I find myself in these moments of deep despair, I am reminded of a prayer that a friend shared with me many years ago.
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu is a Sanskritprayer which means:
“May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and that freedom for all.”
This blessing has been used for centuries to invoke love, peace and compassion for all of creation. It is a beautiful reminder that we are all sharing the same planet and we must care for one another equally.
I truly believe that every one of us is capable of being a messenger of love and compassion…..even during this time of global uncertainty.
If you are feeling helpless like I am, let’s use the power of the collective to radiate our loving intentions out into the world and bring forth the miracle of peace for us all.
