Tuesday's Tiny Truths - PEACE!!!

There can be no vulnerability without risk;
there can be no community without vulnerability;
there can be no peace, and ultimately no life,
without community.
- M. Scott Peck


Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders
of our countries
or with those who have been appointed or elected to
do a particular job.
It lies with each of us individually.
Peace, for example, starts within each one of us.
When we have inner peace,
we can be at peace with those around us.
- The Dalai Lama


Peace is the deliberate adjustment of my life
to the will of God.


For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant,
and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones,
and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
