The Third Tenet of the Zen Peacemaker Order is healing ourselves and others. But often I think that what's really happening is more basic than that. And what arises is love. I don't have to do anything. I don't have to create anything.
Love arises by itself.
It's been there all the time, and now, when I'm less protected than at any other moment in my life, it's there. People ask me every day how I'm doing. I don't know how to answer them, there are no words. So I just tell them I'm bearing witness. It must be hard, they say.
