And,
may we consistently choose the single goal of peace
rather than multiple goals that lead to conflict;
may we continue to practice forgiveness;
may we recognize that we are united as one Self and illuminate the world with the light of Love that shines through us;
may we awaken to the knowledge that the essence of
our being is Love, and, as such, we are the light
of the world.
Hope is the realization of the inner connectedness of all things; of your life and your daily activity with the cosmic scheme of things. The awareness of who you are, that you are the self--that gives you hope. Faith and hope stem from the same inner, intuitive realization of who you are, that you are here for a purpose and that nothing on earth can shake that.
