Poets were invited to share their ideas on ‘peace’ and a multitude of interesting perspectives surfaced, expanding the scope of understanding. Beautiful poems were shared by brilliant poets, and the evening glowed with happiness.
I shared a sestina, my favourite poetic form (titled ‘Our World Will Live As One’) and also parts of a Ghazal while speaking about peace.
Peace emanates from inside and radiates in all directions in a flow of equanimity, holding the person in grace.
