Who will grab the torch?
By: admin on: Jun 24,2008 In: InspirationMost of today is tied up doing research for my job. While traveling I can only seem to offer it a piddly 2 hours a week, but at the beginning of each month, I need to have some new bloggers lined up. Back in April, while plugging away at my barista job, I was offered […]
Presenting the third recipient of donations
By: admin on: Jun 16,2008 In: P.E.A.C.E 08, Inspiration, Community, FundraisingI believe in community. There is a proverb that goes something like, “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade.”
Or, as Sandra Day O’Connor once said, “We don’t accomplish anything in this world alone … and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one’s life and all the weavings of individual […]

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY
Well, here it is Mother’s Day, and mine is far away. Irony has it that I’m actually visiting my father, in Jackson, MS. It’s appropriate-I don’t think I’ve ever seen him on Father’s Day. And I wouldn’t be alive and scooting for Peace without their combined effort to bring me here.
The history […]
CLAW 3 Tonight, 8pm, Blue Moon Diner
By: admin on: Apr 8,2008 In: Inspiration, Virginia, Fundraising
Don’t miss CLAW 3, Return of the CLAWs, this Tuesday, April 8th, from 8-10 p.m. If for some reason (other than you don’t live in Cville) you haven’t heard of CLAW, then click here. I’m very excited to cast aside my pacifist tendencies and well, flex my mongo muscles for some entertaining arm […]
Look, this isn’t funny. Three great leaders were assassinated within 5 years of one another. What this says to me is that the idea of change scares people, and people will act out of fear and bigotry to subdue the brighter light. According to the campaign news, our country, is hungry for change. Obama has […]
I am very humbled and overjoyed by two major events yesterday.
A gentleman named Heinz, a customer at my coffeeshop, donated a generous sum of money to the gas fund. His donation of $250 covers a large portion of petrol. I placed his name on the Peace map. The Peace map is how I will fundraise […]
“You can not travel the path until you have become the path itself”
This is the credo of Matua, who will be traveling a long path starting this spring. I heard from Matua in the end of January. His first letter came to me a month after I had decided to complete the Peace […]

A response with my ethos
By: admin on: Jul 11,2007 In: Scooter Clubs, Non violence, Inspiration, 2007 Blog, Scooters, Peace, Community, Direct ActionThis is an excerpt from my correspondence with a very cool, supportive female scooterist in D.C. We are trying to get a ride in place, if not with a bunch of people, at least a chance to meet one another. Anyways, I am posting my response to make my modus operandi a bit […]
WALL OF BELIEFS
Add your own...-
I have become convinced that I have the power to transform the world into one that is free of domination. I believe that all it takes to transform the world is for me to transform myself into a more mature, responsible, and loving person. That’s all I have to do, nothing more than that, nothing less than that, and nothing is more important than that transformation. When I change my inner world, my external behavior shifts to match, and I become a creative source of systemic change.
Moreover, if I can do it, with my history of dysfunction and wounding, certainly you can do it. The ripple effect from this transformation is immeasurable, and it has the power to stimulate the largest institutions of repressive domination to implode. This turns conventional thought on its head, and would appear to be insane to most people, a kind of megalomania, which it is not, it is the exact opposite of megalomania. It is acknowledging our critical participation in energetic systems far larger than ourselves.
I do not accept that I am the victim of the military-media-corporate-government conspiracy. I am 100% responsible for it, another apparently “insane” idea, and yet what I mean is that I am 100% able to respond to it. I have an answer. I have more than one answer. Having a better idea is far more effective for producing social transformation than recrimination and revolt. Very soon the world will be ready to hear hundreds of thousands of people who have transformed themselves internally to be the change, and not demand the change from some external source.

The genisis of Peace occurs when, with humility, I begin to truly see others as my brothers and sisters.
Gary Leu -
Peace is helping strangers in need....and knowing in your soul it is the right thing to do.
Take care Alix...it was nice that your journey crossed ours.
Tony Simonelli -
Peace is accepting people for who they are and not what you want them to be. Peace starts with one person and ripples through the rest of society.
Faith Simonelli -
peace is achieved when we gain the ability to find tranquility and quietness within ourselves, then we will radiate this out to the world.
JoniJett -
peace is the outcome when we use wisdom and patient self-restraint during conflict.

When my life has ended
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved one's
I'll leave there's no doubt
But one thing's for certain
When it come's my time
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind

Peace is non-aggression, non-dominance. It's love in action.
