Been meditating and keep remembering the line from a hymn, “Let there be peaceon Earth and let it begin with me.” I am left believing that I can make a
difference by contemplating peace. Thoughts lead to actions which may make an
impact. As there are monks who pray for humanity and there are holy men who
dream of Nirvana, my impression is that by treating my soul as an instrument
from which the song for peace will ring out to others, mankind will benefit.
The connection of me to all the Earth. The ego and the divine are not
separate. Tapping into the core of life, that energy which stimulates and
attracts is a concept worth exploration. Not to be an evangelist and bring
others with me but to remain calm and joyful in this life. I will benefit as
I become more aware of myself, my actions do make a difference. But that is
not the most powerful impetus. It is to harmonize with existence, becoming a
true creature of nature without the cloak of modernity as a costume, distorting what is real.
The tattoo is just a physical reminder of this.
