Yes or No?

I had a wonderful breakfast with a delightful friend this morning. Swedish pancake haus. She had crepes, and I boringly had oatmeal with fresh strawberries, raspberries and cranberries. It's a fiber thing, but that's all I have to say about that. I could sense there was some heaviness surrounding her. She shared with me the poignant passing of her stepfather (her "real dad" as she referred to him) just last Wednesday and the funeral on Saturday. She had the blessing of spending time with him through the 18-month terminal illness. The more she spoke about this special person in her life, the more her eyes glimmered, sparkled and the stories led to laughter and joy that spilled out to fill every empty space in our green "leatherette" booth. Her "prince" since she was a small girl of eight years. His "little one." The precious jewel he protected, guided, loved and was there all along the way. 

She was there by his side when he left this place we call life. To a place of no suffering. To a place of sanctuary. To a place of peace.

I was honored that she chose to share the contents, her life's ink from this chapter. When we left she handed me a card. I opened it in the car, alone. The front has a die-cut image of a bird of peace. Inside, a picture of two infants of "delicious color" (one chocolate, one vanilla), with this message:

"I shall pass through this world but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do, let me do it now; let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."

And, if that were not enough to punctuate the moment of (   ) we shared at breakfast, the back of the card was the clincher. Please consider these peaceful approaches:

"All things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them." Christian

"What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and love mercy, and walk humbly with God." Hebrew

"To be in one's own heart in kindly sympathy with all things; this is the nature of righteousness." Confucian

"Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love. This is an old rule." Buddhist

"Your daily life is your temple and your religion. Whenever you enter into it take with you your all." Kahlil Gibran

"As one may ascend to the housetop by ladder, rope, or bamboo, so there are many ways to reach God." Hindu

"Wherever you go, wherever you rest, may the peace of Good Allah keep you blessed." Moslem

"We, the gods, shall surely visit thy dwelling if loving kindness dwelleth there also." Shinto

"Regard ye not one another as strangers; ye are fruits of the tree, the leaves of the branch, the flowers of one garden." Baha'i

Is one of these the right belief for approaching peace full life. Are all of these the right belief for approaching peace. 

Yes or no? 

Correct.
