Poem by Antonio Machado

Christ teaches: your neighbor
you will love as yourself,
but never forget that they are an other. 

Smiling at the world

Today I saw a woman smiling as she walked down the street. It wasn't clear what she was smiling about, but it warmed my heart and made me smile too. It reminded me that when we find peace in our hearts, we make peace in our world.

Active Compassion

Peace is compassion, manifested through action.

Feeling compassion for another person is a start, but if it only remains in our hearts and thoughts, we have not done anything to spread peace. Peace is when we go out of our way to reach out to another human and help them in some way, take action to show them that we care, and instill compassion in their heart as well.

Peace is Happiness

Last summer, at a summer camp in Italy for children with cancer that I worked at, one of my campers turned up the radio as we had our "tidy-up-the-cabin" time.  Blasting the tune, she picked up the broom and started dancing around, singing as though she was on a stage in front of millions of fans.  She found a happiness inside of herself; one that could push away even the most dim moments. 

 

PEACE is LOVE

To have love is to have respect, acceptance, kindness, forgiveness, and understanding.  In order to achieve peace we must have love. We are all in this life together, so we must help one another by sharing love, even with the smallest gestures to believe in and achieve peace.

Unexpected Thoughtfulness

On Christmas Eve, my neighbor who "fell in love with her husband in Boston" left a framed picture of Boston as a gift for me on my front step.  I love and live in Boston :)
