By Try Grace



The video/chant above is a beautiful musical path to sensing the beauty of All
creation.  I am not familiar with many spiritual paths in this world and do not feel especially comfortable in the presence of unfamiliar languages.  However I believe that trying to appreciate the similar goals of all mature spiritual seekers is one small step toward understanding, in spite of cultural and linguistic differences.
This past week saw a terrorist attack in Paris, France.  The perpetrators were identified with radical Islamic sects and were attacking a publishing house which they viewed as being defaming of their path.  Several interesting events happened during this ordeal.  In the initial attack in which a dozen or more were killed, one of the dead was identified as being a fellow Muslim, collateral damage or just a different sect.
Several Muslim Imams from France were visiting Pope Francis at the
Vatican.  In a joint statement they denounced the terrorist acts of hate and at the same time admonished poor judgement in publishing which defames others beliefs.
The most significant event occurred on this past Sunday when more people took to the streets in peaceful support of Islam and free press than took to the streets on VE day at the end of WWII.

All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.  Love Wins! All Ways!  Paz Christo!
RV  P.S. - When looking at this post it appears that I misspelled the title of By Thy Grace.  Then I thought more about it and decided that the title sounded just fine :0)
