Nothing is lost

Energy is never lost; merely transformed. The energy of Newton's falling apple is transformed into kinetic energy shifting its molecules at impact, continuing to shift them long after.

So too with Peace! Peace is merely another form of energy. When you rest in this energy it transforms you, now and long after. When you bring Peace energy to others it can transform them, now and long after.

So use it! You can't lose it!

To Serve Peace........................

When your own tummy rumbles for Peace, consider that it is a meal you need to serve another. Peace is a dish best served by service.

Be sure to add a dollop of love; tastes like butter, without the calories. Peace simply adores that. Yummmmmm!

Love,

The Incredible Lightness of.........

What do light, love, amazement, joy, inspiration, possibility, curiosity, playfulness, spirit, laughter, trust, wisdom and miracles have in common?

No mass! Yet, life without them is heavy! Go figure.

Guess what else has no mass YET comes directly from these lighter than anything qualities of being?

PEACE!

And who says something from nothing is nothing?

Love,

Salama!

In the ancient Arabic language "salama" means "to restore a thing to its original nature". And the route of this word, "salam", is Arabic for Peace. So, consider that personal Peace might mean being restored to your original nature. Peace is YOUR original nature. You are Peace!

Be original today. Be Peace!

Peace is not a ceasefire!

Avoiding conflict does not lead to Peace! Rather it leads to the illusion of Peace or a ceasefire!

So, the next time you are tempted to squash, squelch or stifle in order to "keep the Peace" in the short term, consider making a loving request instead.

Fear may lead to temporary relief, a moment of quiet from the war; only love will lead to Peace.

Love,

Play for Peace!

A poem by Rosemerry Trommer edited as an invitation.

"And there's plenty to be unhappy about
but first, run through dry leaves at the park,
roll down hills like drunken logs,
spin on the merry go round til
your stomachs spiral and lurch into stop.

Warmth comes when you play,
run through dry grass like white seeds in wind gusts,
pretend you are a kite.
This is the way to love the world."

Play today and love the world!

Love,
Darlene

"I sing the body electric.........."

Walt Whitman was wise to celebrate the human being, old, young, male, female, poor, laborer, each one a significant soul.

What does this have to do with Peace?

Well, imagine today celebrating EVERY human being you see as adding to life. Your life.

Peace.
