Pools of Peace
A man of peace is not a pacifist; a man of peace is simply a pool of silence. He pulsates a new kind of energy into the world, he sings a new song. He lives in a totally new way. His very way of life is that of grace, that of prayer, that of compassion. Whomsoever he touches, he creates more love-energy. The man of peace is creative. He is not against war, because to be against anything is to be at war. He is not against war; he simply understands why war exists. And out of that understanding he becomes peaceful. Only when there are many people who are pools of peace, silence, understanding, will the war disappear.

(I must also say this is true for a woman of peace!)

I concur, Carol. It's very true of all persons of peace.

That is a beautiful quote, and I believe it is true too.
Nick,
Yes. My understanding of peace has evolved over the years. I didn't always see it this way.
Indigo,
Isn't it beautiful? I had never read this quote until today and I couldn't resist it. It says it so perfectly.

I like the quote, and it's something to aspire to, but I'm not there yet.
I get fed up from time to time.
Thomas,
I'm not there yet, either. It's very easy to get fed up from time to time.
