Dear Friend in Peace,

Some years back a most ardent and animated woman came up to me and knowing I am a "peace person," from looking at my hat and exclaimed to me: "Well, of course, you marched AGAINST the War!" To which I replied: "Actually, I did not, instead I held the vision and vibration of peace."

My response may have felt like splitting hairs to her and rather silly or possibly inspired her to think about peace and its powerful, gentle, loving energy. What I do know is her statement was of tremendous service to me because it helped me realize how easy it is to be against something and how much more powerful and peaceful it is to be for something. Her statement also helped me recognize that in order for us to be peaceful there must be consistency between how we feel and what we say. Peaceful words flow naturally from peaceful hearts. We can, and do, use words that carry peaceful, positive energy because we recognize negative thoughts have no place in our minds or hearts if we wish to be peaceful.

If we are to be effective as people of peace for our own wellbeing, that of others, our nation, and our world, it behooves us to keep our vibrations high and peaceful through connecting to Mother Earth, Divine Love,and one another.

Peace is like anything else, the more we choose it, the more we live it, the easier and more natural it becomes.

LOVE IS OUR LANGUAGE
PEACE IS OUR HEART

This photo speaks to me of consistency and peace. The two Sea Lions were lying on the beach near where our small boat came ashore in the Galapagos. I don't remember which island this was, but I remember clearly the peace emanating from these two loving beings was so profound I felt it in every cell in my body. There was no sense of fear or anything other than love and peace radiating from the Sea Lions. May this precious image of these loving Sea Lions help us remember peace requires our total commitment and consistency and is well worth the effort!

Thank you for your dedication to peace and for living the Peace born of Consistency.
