Dear Friend in Peace,

This past week we have been reminded of the fragility of life and of our democracy. As people of peace, we open our hearts and send compassion and love to all, especially to Renee Good's family. We connect to what is real: the power and strength of love, compassion, and peace. We stand up and speak up for liberty and justice for all, not just for a favored few.

We have also been reminded of the profound power of Peace this week as more and more people show up to see and listen to the Buddhist monks on their 2,300 mile "Walk for Peace" from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, DC. The monks have captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of people with their powerful message of peace through their words and actions.

How might we fortify our inner peace and add to the energy of the monks and peacemakers world-wide? We hold the vision of what we want: Peace... rather than the vision of what we don't want: a nation at war with its people. By holding the vision of what we want, we help allow it to manifest. Holding the vision and vibration of peace not only changes us, it changes everything around us.

Remember Dr. King's most magnificent "I have a dream," speech? He demonstrated the power of vision:

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

His inspiring words, his vision moved our nation closer to its promise of liberty and justice for all.

As we hold the vision of Peace for ourselves and our nation, we build hope within our hearts, we feel the promise of peace, liberty, and justice for all growing within us and expanding outward. We are blessed by the loving energy of our vision. We feel hope and peace as we hold the vision of hope and peace. We hold to our power of seeing, knowing, and believing in what can be as we bring ourselves and all our brothers and sisters to the promised land of peace.

Thank you for choosing peace in your thoughts, words, and actions.
Yours in peace and love always,
Donna
