“Make me an instrument of Thy peace.”
– Prayer of St. Francis
While I practiced yoga beside a beach cove at dawn, only two people were in sight. One cast his fishing rod into the calm waters; the other glided his surfboard past the coral reef toward cresting waves. Later that day, I noticed hikers using professional or makeshift walking sticks to help them maintain stability on a rough trail. I travel with a little book of quotes, a homemade prayer card and my yoga mat, my “cylinder of peace.”
What objects—instruments—do you associate with peace?
How do they help you become an instrument of peace?
