This captures something real about how collective longing works. The idea that these monks became a "blank canvas for our image of peace" goes deeper than just projection, it points to how rituals and symbols can actualize what we're already carryng inside. Watched something similar happpen at a vigil once where everyone sort of synced up emotionally without saying much.

Yes - that describes it nicely.
I deeply appreciate your use of the word relief.
Beautiful! You captured it perfectly.
