“…how about being a beacon of love radiating peace and understanding into the world? Rather than projecting fear, we can choose to project love and compassion. We can choose to see the world and its people as needing love, not needing judgment and blame.” ~Marie T. Russell

Happy International Day of Peace! May we all, through our daily presence and actions, help pave the way for lasting peace.
“Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free.” ~Dalai Lama XIV

“Layer by layer I removed all that I thought I was, all that I thought I had to be and in the moment I was left standing naked and vulnerable without identities and labels, I remembered, I am that I am.” ~Lenita Vangellis

“Freedom is a place, an area. It’s a higher place. There are some other people that are here, and things that are here which are unseen. But you first have to set yourself free and believe in what you cannot see, believe that there is something more out there. In freedom can be found many devotions: a devotion to love, a desire to believe, a willingness to be happy, a perseverance to have peace. All these unseen things breathe and grow in the unseen soul. A free person is not an uncommitted person, but in a free person you will find a deep devotion, and a desire to be devoted to even more.” ~C. JoyBell C.
