Three intertwined quotes for today
“Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.” Helen Keller
“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
“One must care about a world one will not see.” Bertrand Russell
Doorways to greater peace in the world are within our own minds, our own being, and our own lives. There is so much power that lies in our untapped faith, our acceptance of endless war, and our focus on only what will bring a tangible result that we will be around to enjoy. Through what we’re willing to believe in, what we’re willing to challenge, and whether we’re willing to invest in a world we may not see, we have great power for peace.
ABOUT THE COUNTDOWN: This post is counting down the days until the International Day of Peace on 9/21/14. There will be a Global Meditation for Peace at 3:00 PM Eastern Time on that day, and you can participate from wherever you happen to be or find an event in your area at peacemap.unify.org. For more information, go to unify.org, and if you're skeptical about the power of group meditation, google "Proof that Group Meditation can Change the World."
