Again, we are saddened and heartbroken by the horrific acts of violence in Buffalo, New York and Laguna Woods.
The All Faith Center and Friends stand together to continue to promote interfaith education, awareness and understanding
in order to change the consciousness of people who do not realize, when they hurt another person, they hurt themselves.
We are all in the web of life and when part of the web is pulled, torn or shattered, the entire world is affected.
We must continue to spread the news of our ONENESS, and how we value ALL people. Everyone has the right to live, work and pray in freedom and joy.
All faith traditions have the basic humane value at the core of their religion – LOVE. When love, caring and compassion is not shown to another individual,
that person is not practicing his or her belief system.
Let us model LOVE in our thoughts, words, and deeds on a daily basis.
Here is a beautiful poem I read on Rev. Dale Suggs Facebook. When the world seems like too much, read it and visualize the beauty of the lake.
The Peace of Wild Things
By Wendell Berry
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
