Peace is an inner experience and an outer expression. As we discover, nurture, and deepen our own peace, we nurture and deepen peace in our family, among people, nations, and between humanity and the earth. Peace has an inner definition: “freedom of the mind from annoyance, distraction, anxiety, an obsession, etc.; a state of tranquillity or serenity”. The experience of inner peace includes presence, love, purpose and choice.

Peace has an outer definition: “a state of mutual harmony between people or groups, esp. in personal relations: the normal freedom from civil commotion and violence of a community; public order and security “. Outer peace is possible when enough of us choose inner peace.

Choice – that is what you have. You can choose to be aligned with purpose and values; you can choose self love and love; you can choose to be present rather than resentful or worried. You can choose from inner peace in your thoughts and words and actions to bring about a more peaceful world. What’s possible if you lived peace? What if it took a lifetime to cultivate? What a journey! What if it took a moment to finally find peace and know how to return?
