Religious Harmony
One of the most reliable routes to world peace is for people to share their sacred experiences without getting snarled in religious divisions. Each religion has a unique bouquet of love, harmony, and beauty. Taken all together, these varied bouquets bring a powerful healing fragrance to our world. Here is your place to offer to others encounters with the Divine nearest to your heart.

As a nurse, I have encountered the Divine in the most common and most unlikely places, in chaos and in calm... I have seen the Divine in the faces of all races, colors, creeds and religions... one of the most memorable experiences occured many years ago... holding the hand of a patient while he passed, his body quivered, the pink of life faded to pale and peace setteled over his face and the silence of the absence of breath overtook the room... the very same week, I watch an infant enter the world... the silence of the absence of breath was broken by a cry of life, the infants body quivered and began to turn from pale to pink... It was then that I knew I had seen the light of God entering and exiting the vessel we call self...

The moment I was holding my first grandchild, while his mother rested in the adjoining room, and I thought this is my heart...such peace.

Once at Christmas time I was doing a vipassana retreat in Washington State, USA. I remember going outside at and watching the Milky Way stretched out across the sky and the crescent moon, a deep orange, setting below the horizon. Coyotes cried in the distance. My mind was as clear as a mountain lake and as sharp as a razor.

Holding my baby, her arms around me, her head on my shoulder... our hearts touching and feeling our whole bodies relax at the same time. This is peace.

The water, always the water. I swim out alone in the late afternoon. I want to lose myself in the flickering movement of light that fans out and dances across the surface. I float, and the water nudges me in soft waves, and I feel as if I will rise up out of my physical self, and I am so at peace with creation, and I am so in awe. I am so grateful.
