A Different Peace


True peace is not a forced truce, not a homogenization of differences, not a common ground that abandons our home territories.

True peace is the oneness that sprouts from diversity, from a panorama of colors, strokes and textures. From the harmony of many instruments each playing a unique part, not one overlapping the other’s kingdom by even the breadth of a hair. There, in the most delightful beauty of this world, there shines G‑d’s most profound oneness.

Those who attempt to blur those borders, they are unwittingly destroying the world. Beginning with the crucial border between man and woman—for this is the beginning of all diversity, the sharpest focus of G‑d’s oneness, shining intensely upon His precious world.

when are we; when we are?
When are we our own diverse selvs? Is there a time in space when our immaterial Neshomahs are placed in our bodies?
Is this when each prince or princes is?
Could this happen before we are 30 days old?

Could True Peace require even this infantile diversity have borders not be blurred?

diversity
We don't need a mixture of everything all together to where we can't even tell what we are seeing or doing...I see all the mixture as a big blob of 'boring'....of Babylon...of bricks.
True peace is being free in knowing who you are and the truth behind why you are who you are in the heavenly realms....

May I continue to respect the diversity between the two creatures, accept myself as one, and seek the different kind of peace in the oneness of our G-d. May in the ocean of diversities in the world to the point of uncomprehensible hope of reconciliation, conflicts of violence, the chaos of not understanding one another, mankind realizes the one simplicity Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad.
