The Radiant Narrative of Love

In our shared journey, let us pause, breathe, and absorb the radiant light. The narrative of love, justice, equity, safety, and joy permeates our existence. Picture this luminous point evolving into a pool within us, radiating outward. Envision ourselves saturated with this light, becoming vessels that illuminate the lives of those around us – family, neighbors, colleagues, and fellow beings. Acknowledge the prevailing narratives of affliction, realizing the temptation to perpetuate their wounds. Instead, let us hold a heartfelt prayer for resilience. May our lives follow the healing trajectory of a transformative story. In this collective aspiration, we embody the tale of peace, with love as its guiding force. May this narrative of divine love and peace mend us and the world.

We absorb the radiant narrative of love, justice, and joy,
becoming vessels of light that radiate resilience
and embody a transformative story,
fostering peace in ourselves and the world.
