In the February issue of the Flaming Rose Journal, as the Winter unfolds, we turn inwards to silence and stillness and begin a time of recollection, renewal and cleansing. We take shelter and rest and let the wounds and personal infractions of the past be healed and forgiven. We seek peace and love. We need peace and love in our lives, and start here first. Then we enlarge our vision to include the community, the city, the country, and ultimately, the world. One World of Peace and Love We pray and sing Let there be Peace and Love Let there be Peace and Love

 
 


One Person's Heart lies at the Silent Center of a Circle of Consciousness and Being encompassing the Whole World at any One Moment in Peace and Love and becomes the Heart of Everyone
