On this Remembrance Day, we pause to reflect on the immense power of service, courage, and resilience. This day plants the seeds of heroic action in our hearts, shifting the focus from the glory of war to the profound, selfless courage required to defend and maintain peace and freedoms for all.
To truly fulfill this sacred promise and honor their sacrifice, Remembrance Day calls us to anchor ourselves in the present moment. The past is history, and the future is potential. We honour the fallen by ensuring that the sacrifice was not made in vain through our conscious presence today. By practising mindfulness and choosing non-violence in thought, word, and deed, we interrupt the cycles of anger and revenge. True peace is the sustained realization that the present moment is the only place where war cannot exist.
This commitment to inner peace serves as our highest oath. Remembrance is a promise to the souls of the departed that their ultimate sacrifice will serve as a moral compass for the living. We honour the contract to protect the freedoms they secured and to use those freedoms responsibly to build a more just and equitable world.
Lest We Forget.
