I recently posted the words "Wage Peace" on my Facebook page. I did it because of the impact those words had on my heart when I first encountered them reading a little book called "Love Is All There Is" back in 2015 when my word of the year was Love and I studied it as hard as I could.
"Wage Peace" means that you actively choose peace in every moment.
"Wage Peace" is a call to arms! Lift your arms. OPEN them WIDE. Offer gratitude. Offer kindness. A smile. Offer solace and shelter. Support. Offer Big Love. Create peace right where you are and aspire to spread peace in your home, community and the wider world in the ways that you can.
Many people out there are waging peace right now. With all the media attention directed elsewhere it is easy not to notice the peace makers. I have been so grateful for the quiet reminders I have read posted in social media that the sword clashing and yammering and violence and anger are not all there is to report about the world today.
It isn't much to do to wage peace. It is the best that I can do. Sharing the mission whenever and wherever I can. It is not a new concept. But one we would do well to finally learn.
"Come on People now, smile on your brother! Everybody get together, try and love one another right now..." (Youngbloods, 1967....50 years ago. 50....)
