Holding Peace!

We all hold onto things; thoughts, relationships, positions, stuff. AND WHAT WE HOLD ONTO TAKES HOLD OF US!

So, if you want Peace to take hold of you, consider holding Peace as a practice. Find a small object that represents Peace for you (in your life or in the world) and carry it throughout the day. It might be a shell, a charm or a note with PEACE written on it. Set it down to pick up another object. Pick it up again when your hand is free.

Hold Peace and it will hold you!

A Miracle for Peace

Does Peace take a miracle?

Did you know that the neurons in your brain formed at the rate of 150 PER SECOND.... WHILE YOU WERE IN THE WOMB? There you were not thinking or acting or anything and your FIVE HUNDRED TRILLION synapses were quietly being created. Imagine what is possible when you begin to imagine, envision and act. Anything is possible. ANYTHING! Even Peace.

If Peace takes a miracle, consider that you are it!

Be a Flea for Peace!

This from Marian Wright Edelman:" So often we think we need to make a difference and be a big dog. Let us just try to be little fleas biting. Enough fleas biting strategically can make a big dog very uncomfortable."

Be a flea for Peace!

Gifting Peace

Love is a gift you get only when you are willing to give it away. You have to let go of it, leave it, in order to receive it. Same thing with Peace: Give it and you are more likely to get it!

Nature and Peace

From Louie Schwartzberg, cinematographer, "Beauty and seduction are nature's tools for survival because we protect what we fall in love with; it opens our hearts so we realize we are a part of nature and not separate from it."

Being seduced and awed by beauty, opening our hearts, being connected! Sounds like Peace to me.

Peace is a Love Affair

Peace happens when you have a love affair with life...........regardless of circumstance; cold, hot, rich, poor, sick, well. Peace happens when we generate love for whatever is happening.

You can do this. It just take practice, practice, practice!

Stumbling into Peace......

Yesterday I stumbled into a major Peace effort on my way to retrieve something from the local high school! I ran smack dab into a campus media campaign for Invisible Children - raising awareness of the heavy cost to children in the decade long war in Northern Uganda AND raising money to educate those children. There is an amazing video which you can get by going to invisiblechildren.com. And you can encourage your local school to connect to a school in Uganda to support Peace efforts there.

Peace, and the movement toward it, is everywhere!
