Redefining Holy-days for Peace
For some reason, I am especially conscious of approaching the darkest dark this year. There are just under two weeks till the cycle of light begins to grow again and the darkness is somehow more pungent, more poignant this year. Certainly, the world economy has something to do with it. I find that I am unwilling to buy “things” just for the sake of having gifts for friends and family. So I was thrilled to discover an organization called Changing the Present. Read

Peace With Aids
In general, those I knew and know who have had or have HIV/AIDS respond in one of two ways. Either they deplore both the disease and themselves becoming bitter, hurt and hurting people, or they use their diagnoses as a springboard for personal transformation. I once had a friend describe an experience of mine as “the best worst thing that ever happened to you.” An HIV/AIDS diagnosis carries the same blessing curse, or cursed blessing, take your pick. Read

Peace Needs Love
Tama J. Kieves writes in September 2007’s issue of Science of Mind, “Big dreams deserve big love.” This is an action we can all take to promote the dream of peace. We can all do this because the action takes place in our minds and hearts. The next time you sit or wait or stand in silence send the love that you are to the idea of peace for our world. Make this a habit. Send big love to peace. This may sound fuzzy to those who prefer the seen to the unseen. On the other hand, everything begins wi Read

Your Treasure, Your Peace
We cannot afford to have enemies within! Enemies of any kind, if we want to participate in the creation of peace on our planet. Sometimes it helps to know why I’m working toward whatever I’m working toward. Namely, what I treasure. Peace is my greatest treasure. What’s yours? Read

Peace: One Person at a Time
Consider the words of the first Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces during World War II, Five-Star General Dwight David Eisenhower: I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. Read

Setting the Bar for Peace
The great icon of this movement for democracy in Myanmar is 1991 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Aung San Suu Kyi. She is the daughter of the general who first won independence for then Burma. Since 1989, The Lady, as she is known, has been under house arrest in Myanmar. She cannot leave the country; the junta will not let her back in. Her husband died whilst she has been under arrest. Her two sons are not allowed to see her. Read

Peace to Spare
What I want to focus my next half-century on is giving and serving peace. I want to remember every day that I have peace to spare, peace to spare for anyone and everyone I encounter, peace to spare for every circumstance. Extra peace, beyond what I need for myself. Did you know that peace, inner peace, is a renewable resource? When I spend enough time by myself, dreaming the dream of my life and this planet, peace wells up from inside me like a fountain. I’m with Brother Ishmael Tetteh, “Peace Read
