Peace is an inner journey that starts with a still and quiet space within. Sometimes one has to let go of the business to find the stillness. Once there, a time of creating newness can take place in the silence and the stillness.

Your choice of a quiet heart is the brightest light for Peace today!

We can make our homes sacred places of peace even when the world around us appears to be chaotic and violent. It may be important to make choices that close out images and messages that come into our homes via the media that are constant reminders of the broken world that surrounds us. It takes courage and strong resolve to unplug the T.V. or other communication media and allow the silence of peace to permeate our inner sanctuary. We are so accustomed to the din and confusion that an absence of it may seem unsettling at first. Even setting aside an hour a day to focus on the quiet inside will help us better create calm on the outside. This peaceful focus may be all that is needed to create peace where ever we may go when we leave our homes, ever expanding the sacred sanctuary we treasure. Choose to be a blessing of peace inside and out. Let it be a reality right here, right now!


Plant your Garden of Peace among good friends!

All of the good things in gardens that we have cared for, tended and watered give forth in great abundance. Because of this great outpouring of goodness, many are sharing the abundance with others and harvest festivals abound. Making new friends is also a way that the garden of peace and goodwill grows and increases. Look for new ways to grow a Garden of peace for your world!

Your life is full of abundant blessings, serving yourself a cup of kindness first assures enough for all, in the end...
Nourishment and rest for body, mind and spirit is built into the very rhythms of life. Ignoring hunger, need for rest and solitude can bring imbalances that affect our emotional wellbeing and health. Taking care of yourself is a way to be a peacemaker that no one else can do for you. Tending to the needs of the world around you to the exclusion of yourself just creates more chaos and confusion. Thinking kindly of yourself is a blessing of peace for our world!


Restore the balance of power by disarming the inner terrorist, that little voice inside always looking for or expecting trouble from the outside and therefore creating it inside; having inner arguments with every dark ninja-thought that pops up. Let peace be with you first, so you can offer it to others around you.



The true spiritual warrior is one who constantly guards her/his personal “boarders” against being overbearing and tipping the balance of power. It takes a brave heart to really be willing to examine the situation and see if maybe the conflict between another and me started from within. Sometimes, what we think of as the hero, is really a bully in disguise.



Taking a quiet refreshing break from the business of your day can be a gift of peace for the world!


To choose peace does not mean to forget about justice. Justice is really about a balance of power. You see, the really big issues can be resolved if people are committed to real and lasting peace. It’s the struggle for power and control that is the real reason people get into fights about things. When there is conflict, one has to examine where the imbalance really lies, because without an imbalance, there is no real conflict.


Be a living prayer of Peace...


What does it mean to “pray for peace? There is an irrefutable law of the universe that says: “What we focus on we draw to ourselves.” Our greatest and most effective prayer for peace, then is to be the peace we seek. At the very least, it means while praying for peace our thoughts and feelings are on what we desire, not on thoughts of the war or discord we want to eliminate. This is why watching the sunrise or sunset or gazing upon the beauty of nature is so useful as our daily peace prayer.

Your heart is the gateway to your truest reality....




When you choose peace, you are invited to let go of all resistance. If you say you value peace but have a war going on in your heart, you will forever be in conflict. Soften yourself to the great, eternal Flow from your SOURCE,(that which exsited before you came into being,) that permeates all that is. When you let the Flow enter you and move effortlessly in you, there is a calm and a harmony. In order to really be aware of this Flow, let go of all the distractions upon which your mind tells you to focus endlessly. Focus on the Eternal now within the heart of your being. Let it be as a still pool in the quiet of your inner sanctuary.

What ever you experienced in the past is over. Looking behind you and thinking this is the way of your life does not give you the chance to discover how very powerful you are to create new ways to bring balance and hope into today. Today is a new day. Let peace be the way of new beginnings for yourself and the world you create this day...


Spring-cleaning is an ancient and wise tradition that creates new beginnings. Sometimes, it is all the attention we are paying to managing all the “stuff” in our lives that is pulling us out of alignment and giving us no rest. The effort we put into making sure our material world is safe and orderly keeps us constantly focused on minutia. A choice to simplify can sometimes give infinitely more space and time to enjoy and savor the now moment.
Where is the logjam that is taking up all your energy and distracting you? Your choice to free up your time and energy by making the space around you clean, orderly and free of excess can help you experience more peace.
Pausing to give thought to how your choices contribute to peace in your heart and in your world is one way to monitor your continuing way of peace. It keeps reactionary behavior and thinking from being the norm. Embrace mindfulness, knowing that each thought and decision can matter towards the unfolding of Peace before and around you...


Truly, the peacemaker must give thought to everything he or she does and chooses in life and bring it into alignment with being peace. It is a question of: do I argue my point because I have to be right, or do I choose not to engage in the argument, because peace is more precious to me?

The way of the peacemaker is an all the time commitment, one that grows and deepens the longer it is entertained. Let the coming and the going of the light in your world be a reminder of the way you have chosen...

Peace, the more you choose it, the more it becomes a way of life. It sits in the heart like a gem of shining brilliance and a beacon to all who experience it in you.

Our Choices for peacefulness inside ourselves continues the peacewave outside ourselves, flowing out into the world around us like and ocean of grace...

The Wave of Peace, or Peacewave idea alone is huge, when you think about it. It will take some time, really, for people to embrace the whole of it, because, it is not just about watching the sunrise or sunset and being the peace, but it is about awareness and a choice of peace all the time. It takes over gradually; it becomes a way of life. It sits in the heart like a gem of shining brilliance and a beacon to all who experience it in you.

You hold the key to peace, it's up to you.





Your are invited to
Continue the wave of peace

In a world of ever increasing violence and unrest, we all long for lasting peace. Many recent discoveries of the natural world point to the fact that with the beating of our hearts, the very bio-energetic field created around our bodies is identical to the bio-energetic field produced by the planet, the sun and moon and other planets in the solar system! We can only guess how the unrest in our human community must be affecting our little part of the cosmos.

You are invited to become an experience of the peace you long for. The sunrise and sunset is an awe inspiring time to experience peace. The beauty and mystery, the majesty and grandeur we experience as we look to the horizon at dawn or dusk is so compelling, we can easily let all other thoughts and concerns rest while we pause and just enjoy a peaceful moment of quiet while watching the sun light come or go .

The coming and going of the light in our world is something that happens continuously for all living beings on our planet, as the earth spins daily on its axis and revolves in a yearly rhythm around our Sun. As each of us commits to this moment of peaceful contemplation, peace, a real kind of lasting peace is experienced. It is like a cresting wave that washes over our world, just as the light of the sun does.

I dream of a gathering of simple peacemakers, where ever you are, at the moment of the coming or the going of the light. As more of us commit to this way of peace, it can wash over our world and build in intensity as more join this Wave of Peace. If we commit at those natural times of the day of peacefulness to focus only on our experience of peace in the moment, we can attract and create other moments of peace for ourselves and this fragile island home we call planet earth. Thank you for joining in this most important gift of blessing for our world as we journey together in Peace.
