In Loving Memory of Peace ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Prose

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Peace, a cherished companion of humanity for countless generations.

Peace, born in the hopes and dreams of every individual, breathed its last breath on a world that yearned for its eternal presence.

Peace was known for its gentle touch, its ability to unite nations, its power to mend broken hearts, its inability to impose. It honored choice. It provided solace in times of turmoil, offering a refuge from the storms of discord. Throughout history, Peace stood as a beacon of hope, guiding us toward a brighter future.

However, in recent years, Peace had been under duress, with conflict and division threatening its very existence. The forces of discord, prejudice, injustice, and inequality cast shadows that dimmed its light, making it increasingly elusive.

Though Peace may no longer grace our world as we once knew it, we must remember that its spirit lives on within us.

It is up to each of us to honor its memory by working tirelessly to resurrect it from the ashes of strife. We must strive to bridge divides; promote understanding, tolerance, acceptance, inclusion; honor diversity, difference, equity; and sow seeds of unity not discord.

In the memory of Peace, let us pledge to be the architects of a world where its presence is not a fleeting dream but a lasting reality. Only through our collective efforts can we ensure that Peace’s legacy endures and thrives in the hearts of future generations.

Rest in peace, Peace, for you shall forever inspire our pursuit of harmony and tranquility.

        1. They appreciated it. It’s not often the work place is a centering place. I try to make a difference in that way cause we are not “machines” to just churn out results we feel. So work must be a space where we can bring our whole selves, including our hurting selves, and find solace there too.
