PEACE BEGINS WITH US

These few words are so simple, yet they contain a message so profound as to be the only

key to the Utopia are troubled world seeks. Words cannot open doors, but when we
receive them with our hearts, we will perceive them with our minds in perfect harmony.

Almost from the time we gain the ability to process thought, we set forth on a journey that

takes us further and further away from the beautiful destination we seek. As we
mistakenly journey outword rather than inward, we begin to feel lost and disoriented.

We cannot change people; the way others think, act or behave. We cannot change the

weather or prevent that which has passed, but we can change the world. Every ones idea
of peace is different but peace is not a concept; it is reality rather the mirror image of our

nature – it cannot exist in the presence of fear. Peace is constant and has a soothing effect

on everyone.
