People gathering in homes, in streets, churches, agencies and schools committed to finding a better way. Citywide, October has evolved into a month dedicated to seeking a working toward peace. National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the YWCA's National Week Without Violence, United Nations Day and Gandhi's birthday are just a few of the larger events that have spawned this October event. Many are coming together to unite efforts for peace-making in San Antonio. This united campagin for peace invites all of us to imagine, visualize what peace looks like.
Peace is about more than ending a war or segregation.
It's about changing hearts and lives by looking within ourselves first, disarming our own hearts and minds. It's aboutliving toward reconciliation and healing in a way that recognizes truth and justice, and then connecting with other people committed to do the same. It's about recognizing and stopping violence wherever it occurs. Violence is as large as a war or as small as a word. The mother who constantly criticizes her son.
