I was in high school at the time of the bicentennial. The 70's !! Felt magical to me.
Here I am now for the 250th.
Sadly, there are uncompromising human beings still arguing the PRINCIPLES: of freedom, of liberty, of justice, of equality ...
If you say the pledge of allegiance, you PLEDGE: "Indivisible" "Justice for All" ~
Independence has never been "free". It cost lives, espec the 5yr civil war over 600,000 lives lost for civil liberties.
I pray our burdens be fewer, kindness over angry, communication over judgements, LOVE finds its way to our hearts / minds, generosity over greed & justice for ALL.
I honor every sacrifice made for our country. Small and large : every sacrifice matters.
Thank you 🇺🇸💪🏼🙌🏼🎆🇺🇸

Real love is loving another just as they are, and if they need to transform, they will do it from this fertile soil of love. Meher Baba said, “Love and coercion can never go together, as love must spring spontaneously from within and is in no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force.” ☀️

🍀 May our walk awaken in you the strength to recognize a profound truth: peace has always been with you, living in the depths of your being, and nothing outside you—no hardship, no change, no chaos—can touch its purity unless you let it. This is our shared journey for peace, and we walk it together. We hope we've inspired you to protect what is most precious within you, to remember it, and to walk with us in the understanding that peace isn't something we achieve—it's something we remember, honor, and refuse to abandon.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏

Be well, happy and at Peace

✍️ Coming Home to Peace - Our suffering mostly comes from our wandering minds. With our chasing thoughts, we get lost elsewhere—in the past we cannot change, in the future we cannot control—drifting so far from the peace of this present moment.

And we ache. We feel lost. We wonder why peace seems so hard to find.

But dear hearts, this here and now, this present moment, is our home. It is our treasure of peace that has been with us all along, quietly waiting with infinite patience, never leaving us even when we wander far away.

We thought we had to chase peace somewhere else, so we kept running to find it. We searched in accomplishments, in possessions, in destinations we believed would finally bring us rest. We exhausted ourselves looking everywhere except the one place it has always lived—right here, in this very moment.

Just relax. Just pause for a gentle moment. We can stop running now.

Peace is right here. It has always been right here, waiting for us like a warm home with the door open. We can come back to it simply by returning to our breath—breathing in, breathing out, feeling the gentle rhythm that has been quietly holding us this whole time.

We can find it in the mindfulness of our daily actions—washing dishes with presence, walking with awareness, speaking with care. In these simple moments, peace whispers: “I never left. I’ve been here all along, waiting for you to come home.”

Peace and stopping the chase does not mean we don’t grow our lives. When we are at peace and flow with the real life right here and now, struggle shifts. We flow with clarity in whatever wholesome plans we have. Growth continues, but without the exhausting chase. Goals unfold, but without the anxious grasping. Life moves forward, but now rooted in peace rather than driven by restlessness.

We don’t need to chase anymore. We don’t need to search in distant places for what lives so close. This present moment is home. Peace is here, patiently, lovingly waiting for our wandering minds to finally come back and rest.

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace. 🙏✨
