Before I start this post I must say Rest In Peace to Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes. You will be missed.

The following is a reflection inspired by the Peace and Unity I participated in yesterday. Hope this inspires someone. Read on!

Let this be a reminder. That we can achieve more through what unites us than what divides us. We all have stories of how we got here, why we act the way we do, and why we deserve to be respected. Let us begin to listen to those stories with open hearts and minds. We will begin to see that the struggles may be called by different names, held in different communities, and dealt with in different ways, but they are still struggles. While we may not have the answers to the struggles we face on a day to day basis, the next person, the next family, the next community, the next race, the next religion, and the next culture will. We are stronger together than we are apart. Let us keep that in mind.

As we move forward towards peace and unity, let us research our history to find all the challenges we overcame and those we still face. Let us implement those lessons from the past and rebuild our present. Let us look into our present conditions for the opportunities that are hidden under the despair. Let’s look to our neighboring communities for ideas on how improve our own. We can create the world we desire for ourselves and our community. Let us look to the future, not as time that is undecided, undetermined, or to be announced but with absolute certainty. We can paint the canvas of the future and make it our collaborative work of art. With the strongest amount faith that we can muster, we will make this work of art our present to all generations.

Remember how this feels, right now. The work is tiresome. The work is boring. The work is hard and grueling. To put it bluntly the work sucks, but the results… They are fantastic. They are true happiness we seek, the contentment that is finally ours to reach. Its everything that we wanted before we knew we wanted it. That’s God’s love! Its knowing you have access to all that you need and desire just like your neighbor. Remember the joy these visions bring to this moment and let’s take it with us while we do the work. We won’t be lead astray by the tiresome, boring, hard, grueling, and “sucky” work to come. We will be fulfilled with no need for instant satisfaction, because will we always be surround by joy.

See it, feel it, keep it, and work it out. See peace and unity. Feel the emotions of peace and unity bring. Keep the vision and the feelings of peace and unity in your heart and mind while we start, continue,  and finish the work to make it reality for all.

One,
