"Just as white light consists of colored rays, so reverence for life contains all the components of ethics: love, kindliness, sympathy, empathy, 
peacefulness and power to forgive." 
 -  Albert Schweitzer
 

I love this quote. And I love being reminded that reverence is so much more than its simple definition.
Reverence is more than bowed heads, bent knees, and hushed voices too. And it's beyond respect. Reverence includes all the components of ethics and more, such as awe and wonder.

Let's choose to see with reverence today. It may be for a loved one, a pet, a wild animal, a flower, a tree, or anything else in nature. It can be looking into a mirror with courage and compassion to see ourselves with reverence.

However we do this today, let's bring reverence into this day for ourselves and for the world.

Can you imagine how the world would change if we practiced seeing with reverence every day?

For peace,
Charlene
