I’m going to be taking a little trip for the next few weeks, and will then be taking a short break from posting at all for several weeks (if not several months) thereafter. As such, you might not be hearing from me for awhile, and I want to make sure you all know how much I LOVE you before I head out.

Thank you all for being a part of my Peace Pilgrim life over the past  nine+ years … I am extremely appreciative for all of you who have supported me & my Work, and I am just as thankful for all of you who have challenged me and the Ideals I have chosen to share & represent.

With that having been said, I also offer the following small parting Gift:

… A reminder of your own mortality.

I can hear it already: “What kind of gift is that?!?!?! How morbid!”
And yet it is actually not morbid at all …
It is actually the greatest Gift I have to give.

For if we choose to regularly pause each day and remember that the next few hours might indeed be our last, then life takes on a refreshed & profound sense of brilliance and meaning. It is in those moments that we remember that we are here not to accumulate or earn or succeed or even “have fun” — it is in those moments that we remember that we are to serve & care & be Kind to all the downtrodden:

… to all the animals who are imprisoned & yearning to be free;
… to all those homeless who are alone & yearning for a gentle touch;
… to all our enemies who are angry & confused, & deeply yearning for our forgiveness unconditional.

Today could very well be our last day together, my Friends.
So let’s get out there and make it a Great One!!!

Peace to you & yours — allWays,

Scaughdt
