So there are still some tales to be told from my time on the road. Hopefully, a lot of my readers have me in their RSS feeds when I do start catching up. I’ve been scribbling for money for some other folks–to explain my hiatus.
Here is list of links to those articles, give them a […]

Peace...
I have to borrow in part from MLK.
Peace is not the absence of tension; but the presence of balance in our lives. It's that balance that we feel when someone smiles at us from across the table as we share a meal... we experience a quiet moment that fills our heart with Hope for Humanity.

I've been asked for "my" definition of PEACE. Peace--to me--is the absence of chaos. It--is not peace between nations, continental powers, political movements. My control over those is insignificant.
Peace is you and me. It is a loving meeting of my mind and yours. It IS, in fact--love. It is thinking of you first, before me. It is caring, nurturing, supporting another. Peace and love are "action" words. I have experienced a huge amount of this love at home and away from home the past five weeks. I experienced that "peace which surpasses all understanding" while traveling and meeting people (scootering) through five states.
On my final ride, the last 50 miles home, I was overwhelmed with the feeling, the knowledge, that I had been so loved in so many ways...accepted, tolerated, fed, "coffee'd", housed, and treated as an equal among equals, no matter what.
Again, for me, "peace" and "love" are so closely related as I might think of the genetic togetherness of identical twins.
The following quote sits on the desk of a long-passed friend of mine. It was meant as a definition of "Humility". As I read, it usually produces a benignancy, replacing immediately any disturbances which found their way into my heart.
"Perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble. It is never to be fretted or vexed, irritable or sore; to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me.
"It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised, it is to have a blessed home in myself where I can go in and shut the door and pray to my Father in secret and be at PEACE, as in a deep sea of CALMNESS, when all around and about is seeming trouble. "

peace is the science of right human relations; living in right relations with self, others and the environment; peace is not the absence of violence, nor is it the opposite of war; peace is the dynamic presence of truth, justice, and loving cooperation; peace is a world that works for everyone

peace is acknowledging the sentience of all living things and doing my best to support a climate of welcome and understanding for the place each sentient being holds on our beloved planet. I cannot force my ideas of equality on others, but I can encourage organizations and official representatives to also adopt a spirit of understanding and non-violent resolutions. I practice this idea with my sons and with all I encounter. I like to think/hope that peace is contagious. :)

Peace is the absence of obsession. When absent objectivity blossoms and a doorway opens to connect with each other as well as with that which could not previously be seen. Work to identify obsession its root and its influence in our life and those we can care for.

Peace is the alignment of the head with the heart, the heart with the head, and the spirit moving in both.

Personal peace is feeling content and happy in the moment. More difficult to obtain is the larger peace, in which everyone is able to feel this way.
