Path to Peace

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by.” ~ Robert Frost
The path to awakening is not easy, nor the one well-trodden upon. It is a metaphorical mountain of steep grades, slippery slopes, and jagged rock. It can be a scary, wild ascension. Global systems of violence—corruption, greed, dishonesty, disparity, and division— are vast. The obstacles can feel overwhelming. Your footholds cannot be found in the physical realm.
As spring approaches, with its promise of new life and beginnings, are you ready for a transformation too? To utilize your gifts, talents, words, and actions? Are you ready to embrace becoming a truth seeker? To embody change? To take the road less traveled?
My daughter, Tamara Dawn, has extensively studied ancient Buddhist and Tantric wisdom. In her YouTube video, Embodying Ahimsa, she describes in fullness this spirit of non-violence. How the Bodhicitta—the mind aimed at enlightenment—has the power to give you the necessary strength and courage to walk the path.
You’re probably thinking, what can I do? How can I make a difference? There are more awakened human beings than you realize. The oppressors are usually loud, the peaceful are often quiet. But there is strength in numbers and in stillness too. I encourage you to speak up in your own unique way, no matter how small or soft. Don’t let the enormity of the mountain keep you from climbing. Let the lyrics of John Lennon’s Imagine into your heart. Let’s walk the path to peace together.
