What is peace?

Profound question. A multitude of answers exist. Is there one answer to this question? One true answer????

I believe the answer to that question is yes.

A man lived about 2000 years ago who taught a "Way of Peace". His name is called in many different ways...Jesus the Christ, Yeshua ben Joseph, Yahoshua Mashiach ...among others. He lived the Way of Peace and showed the world how to walk that "Way".

Peace is a way of life. It is not a mere word that can be defined in one language. Peace is the essence of unconditional love expressed. Jesus is that expression of love. The Heavenly Father, Creator of all living, sent His Son to show us how to find peace within our selves in the flesh, so that we could both give and receive love.

While visiting Newport beach in Oregon along the coastal Highway 101, a sanctuary for people lost at sea touched my heart so much, I want to write about the experience of visiting the sanctuary. Gazing at the photos and stories of those lost at sea placed there by their families, along with beautiful stands of flowers and watching the people stopping at this sanctuary to pay respects and read the stories, I was so moved in my heart.

Cephas and I took photos of the pictures of the lost along with clips in the newspaper or cards from loved ones. Those photos will be loaded at a later date with this article. The realization came that it would be good to share those stories with the world.

From that visit to Newport beach, I made a decision to research those stories of folks lost at sea all over the world and create a theme blog just about that topic. Even more than a blog, it is my intention to arrange interviews with friends and families to write the stories of their loved ones lost at sea. These articles will be published in magazines and online.

If you would like to share a similar story please contact me at the_midnight_writer@mountainspiritproductions.org to arrange an interview. If you have a story that you want to share as a guest writer, contact me at the same email above.

I look forward to many heart filled memorials of lives given back to the sea. May their stories inspire us and continually remind us of the power within the human heart that binds us all together.

Watch for the new blog "Lost At Sea".
