| Dear Friends: |

| When you have peace within, real peace with others is possible.
“We often think of peace as the absence of war, that if powerful countries would reduce their weapon arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapons, we see our own minds- our own prejudices, fears and ignorance. Even if we transport all the bombs to the moon, the roots of war and the roots of bombs are still there, in our hearts and minds, and sooner or later we will make new bombs. To work for peace is to uproot war from ourselves and from the hearts of men and women. To prepare for war, to give millions of men and women the opportunity to practice killing day and night in their hearts, is to plant millions of seeds of violence, anger, frustration, and fear that will be passed on for generations to come. “ – Thich Nhat Hanh Healing Alert: Your are invited to view my talk on Mindfulness In Healing: How I Survived Bladder Cancer for more than 25 years from the Bladder Cancer Summit on Saturday, October 1, 2022 by visiting Resources for BCAN. Use the password “bcan2022” to get in. The feedback for this event has been exciting. Linda D. wrote, “It worked out for us to watch your presentation live on Saturday. We appreciated both the content and your calm, caring delivery. I can imagine that it was well appreciated by all those in the room struggling with life threatening bladder cancer. It is so good of you to put out the energy to share with others what has been so helpful to you in your long healing journey.” May you be peaceful and at ease! |
