Again, I do believe it is. The issues of peace and power are personal, individual issues. Peacemaking is real work, and it begins with me. It takes energy, creativity, patience, and a clear vision. Peacemaking comes from the heart, first of individuals and then of individuals who commit together to making peace a way of life.
Every human being has power as well.
And each of us makes choices as to how we will use that power as we live our lives. By now it should be apparent that this is a plea for all who love peace to be proud that we rely on the power within each one of us to be peacemakers, in whatever situation we find ourselves. Beyond ourselves, we can exercise our responsibilities as citizens to urge our government to find more creative ways to rely on love and life as ways to make peace.
