Only when peace lives within each of us, will it live outside of us. We must be the wombs for a new harmony. When it is small, peace is fragile. Like a baby, it needs nurturing attention.

Instead, we must use the strength of wisdom and conscience. Only that power can nurture peace in this difficult time.

Reject labels. Reject identities. Reject conformity. Reject convention. Reject definitions. Reject names.

Did you measure to attain your height? Did you use geometry to radiate your limb? Did you lament storm-torn branches? Did you inventory your leaves for the sun? You did none of these things, yet man in his cleverness Cannot match your perfection.

Who you are is always right.

If you have a good idea, use it so that you will not only accomplish something, but so that you can make room for new ones to flow into you.
