peace on earth

whatever you believe at this time of year, we can all abide by science's winter solstice. yesterday was the shortest day of the year. we can all celebrate getting a little extra daylight everyday. i spoke about the mood enhancing properties of sunlight in an earlier post. here's to sunnier, happier days!

also, i want to wish us all peace on earth. i think we can all agree that the end of diminishing others/fighting/war would make the world a better place.

take a moment and listen for peace. it's out there. we have to keep listening and practicing it.

peace, love, and joy to all!

peace

i recently watched the dvd "jimmy carter: man from plains" and was reminded of what one person can do to promote peace. he inspires me.

i doubt i'm ambitious enough to do something worthy of the nobel peace prize, but i'm so glad there are people out there who are.

dr. martin luther king, jr. was only 35 years old when he was given that award. i really like this quote from him: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

i look up to these men and hope to follow their example in whichever way i can. i hope this blog will make some small step toward a more peaceful world.
