“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” —Thich Nhat Hanh
Oh, how I miss this gentle soul. He walked on this earth with such a beautiful soft footprint. Sometimes when I long for some motivation and inspiration, I listen to one of his videos so I can remember his voice, always so full of love and compassion. He dedicated his life to peace, and has said that man is not our enemy. “Our true enemy is hatred, ignorance, fear and the seed of violence deep in our consciousness.” He urged us to resolve the conflicts in ourselves, our families, our communities, our nations. My favorite saying of his is “There is no way to peace, peace is the way.”
Dear Angels, so often in life, we find ourselves striving, reaching, and planning for that elusive thing called peace. We think, “Once the chaos settles, then I’ll be at peace,” or “When the world changes, peace will arrive.” The world teaches us to fight for what we want, to defend our ground, to push back. But the soul teaches a different lesson: to stand in peace is to stand in power. Peace is not passive. It is the strongest vibration in the universe, more enduring than war, more courageous than fear. We live in troubled times, so how do we truly walk in peace when the world around us feels like it is crumbling? When we feel attacked, misunderstood, or overwhelmed by injustice—how can we make peace our way of life?
Dear Ones, peace begins not in the world, but within you. It is the sacred space between your heartbeat and your breath. It lives in your willingness to return, again and again, to love—even when your heart is tired. Even when the noise of the world screams louder than your inner voice. You ask how to walk in peace when the world feels chaotic. We say to you, be the eye of the storm. You are not here to calm the entire world; you are here to anchor light where you stand. Every time you choose compassion over blame, understanding over retaliation, stillness over fear, you ripple peace outward in ways unseen but deeply felt. You are not alone in this walk. We walk beside you, lifting you when you falter, whispering truths when you forget. The practice of peace is not a perfect journey, but a faithful one. And when you fall short, simply return. That return is sacred. That return is peace. Choose it with each breath.
Angels Whisper: Peace isn’t something you find. It’s something you become. Let it rise from within you like a dawn that knows no dusk. You are the path. You are the peace.
Today, I promise to be peace with each breath I take.
