The time is coming to test our choices, beliefs, principles, practices, our place in the world.
It was easy for us not to worry when the human madness happened far away from us.
It was easy for us to think that it would never happen to us.
Now we are facing a new situation.
Now we are faced with the crowning madness of civilization – war.
Today it’s a war across the border. Tomorrow?
Many of the things we considered important so far have already lost their importance. Many more will follow.
Each of us is in a different life situation, in different circumstances. Each of us has to do what we have to do.
However, especially now, it is important how we treat the world around us, how we treat the people around us, and how we treat ourselves.
May we be able to appreciate the moment that is given to us, people that are close to us that we still have, and our place in the world.
May we be able to express this gratitude through our relationship to others, our treatment of others, those who are close to us, and those who are strangers.
May we not lose what is, thinking about what was or what could have been if …
Let us remember that everything changes but what we do, and how we do it during and between these changes has a measurable impact on them.
May the peace of the wilderness be with you always.
