How Do I Handle Hope and Fear for My Grandchildren?

I’m historically Christian, and my struggle is hope for the future. I have 10 grandchildren ages 9 and under. I do well until I pick up my one-year-old and see the child’s divine being, but then later sense the future is falling apart due to climate and politics. And this destroys my peace. What do I do? Rupert says: ‘Paul, the greatest gift you can give your grandchildren is to demonstrate to them, experientially, not verbally, that peace and happiness is independent of what is taking place in the world. If nobody else conveys this understanding to your grandchildren, and if you don’t, I suspect nobody else will. So, make it your sacred duty for the rest of your life to convey this understanding to them experientially.’
