Monday Musing: World Peace Day

"Angel" by Roger Young

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, 

we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.

                                      – Anton Chekhov

The United Nations General Assembly has declared 21 September to be the International Day of Peace—"a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire." This year's theme is "Shaping Peace Together." We are invited to "celebrate the day by spreading compassion, kindness and hope in the face of the pandemic. Stand together with the UN against attempts to use the virus to promote discrimination or hatred. Join us so that we can shape peace together."
