"We can find common ground only by moving to higher ground."
Jim Wallis
Longing for the world to be walking on a pathway of peace, change must be made. First we need to explore the differences in each person without judgment. Do not hide from those who think differently nor act like they do not exist. If we are confident in the self, there is no fear in stretching to understand others.
We can take advantage of situations where thoughts and opinions can be safely shared. We can become aware of how others love, treasure, and endure. When we recognize existing fears and disappointments, a bond can be shared. Understanding the plight of each other brings us closer to walking a peaceful path.
If we choose to step out from behind our own defenses, new understanding occurs. Accepting each other, even when disagreeing, we can create a space where all peoples can thrive. Compromise becomes key, but when developed in safety, there is greater chances to agree. Shedding drama and chaos, together we move to higher ground.
