This morning I saw a couple of egrets flying in the sky.

Beautiful white egrets, against the green trees, in a seamless flight.

It was a sight to watch, as I stood there in my balcony, admiring them.

And I wondered

Have they always been there and it’s only today that I have seen them?

Or

Have they come only today, because we have created the space for them to do so?

It’s the same with every beautiful thing in life

Has it always been there and it’s only today that I have seen it?

Or

Has it happened today, because I created the space for it to happen?

Peace happens when we wish to be peaceful

Peace happens when we create space for peace
