Making Peace Out of Chaos

I don’t know what we can do in this moment except stay in the boat, and when we get tossed into the ocean, grab the hull and crawl back inside to safety. That’s how it feels to me right now.But I wonder if there’s another way to safety.Maybe it’s too odd of an idea, but what if we could create peace in the middle of chaos, by wishing everyone well. Not as a discernment practice (you deserve my well-wishes, you don’t) but by weaving a great cloak to wrap up into  and protect ourselves with, and protect everyone else, too?Maybe it’s a cloak of peace. Maybe it’s one of love. Maybe it’s a cloak of blessings,like the great poet John O’Donohue once wrote.I feel like I could use a blessing right now. Couldn’t you?
