Another Need to Pause for Peace in Schools

Dear Community of Friends,

Like me, I am sure you too are saddened by yet another shooting in one of America's schools. A student, whose internal uprising was expressed through a deadly weapon, was responsible for a teacher's soul departing and two students becoming wounded.

I call upon all of you around the nation to take some time and Pause for Peace. The souls of our children, teachers and parents need healing. Our nation needs healing.

As I continue to search for the "reason" behind this continued narrative in our country, what is at the root of this violence within the minds of our children, I turn to you my fellow citizens for your thoughts. How have we gotten here? How will we rise above it, and return to the loving nature we all entered into this lifetime with?

Please share your thoughts in compassion for those affected, and in an effort to collectively move toward a solution. Our children are waiting for our response.
