This particular global day of Peace is especially significant because the Peace sign turned 50 this year.
The United Nations General Assembly declared that this day be devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace.
It must be said that the “ideals of […]

Hey there, Daphne here. In Maine, that is…

Here’s a picture of me with Alix in Missoula, MT last year…stay tuned for one of us in San Francisco next week!
I’m on the wings here at peacescooter.com and I have to say I’m enjoying the ride. I can see many of you are

Now, here is good video

David Lynch. Yes, THE David Lynch responsible for cult classics that often examine the disaccord in one’s soul. Well, do you know about the other pursuits of David Lynch? Transcendental meditation, Peace palaces, World Peace, Peace, and more Peace. Very impressed with his dedication and insights, I wrote to the David Lynch Foundation. I […]

Both require elbow grease. Bad jokes aside, I was in for a bit of my own punishment the other night. If it makes you feel better, laughing at my own bad jokes was my own demise the other night- I was disqualified from my first round wrasslin.

My first CLAW (Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestlers) match proved […]

The past week I’ve been movin and shakin. Whew. Glad I have unlimited access to espresso at work….
I’m really happy to present some news to you about….
Obviously, the beautiful reconstruction of the website, with more upgrades on the way, plus a big surprise soon! I was fortunate enough to cross paths with a great […]

Hey ya! Let’s meet tomorrow. Right now I am only in Gulfport. It has been a crappy day of meandering, confusing detours, crazy cage drivers almost hitting me, bridges with steel grates and severe thunderstorms. I am waking up early in the morning, to make the rest of the drive. I heard Pass Christians bridge […]

This 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 […]

Hope everyone had a good “Interdependence Day.” Me, the highlight was playing with white gas, not fireworks. I tested out my traveling barista kit: one stove, one Bodum French Press tumbler, a collapasible pan set, and some fair-trade, organic Ethiopia Yirgacheffe beans. It’s amazing how technology creates these wonderfully small gadgets. […]

What a whirlwind of activity my life has been since May 23rd.
I came across a quote the other day that really resonated with me: “Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
Numbers and Musings:
1 month. 13 days. Attended the Instant Karma art exhibit in town. Read a quote […]

WALL OF BELIEFS

Add your own...

  • Even during the wrath of the myraid cosmic winds, the attacks by earthly being's desires, or the depths of eminant death and despair, one mind stays perfectly still and bright, this is everlasting peace.

  • Peace is being left blissfully alone.
    Nayagan

  • Peace
    "Just What It Is"
    Silence,Serenity,Stillness
    of Hate
    Eager to Love
    Accept & Relate
    to Everyone
    without Debate
    Regardless of Race
    Religion & Regulation
    Peace is the Ultimate
    Form of Elation!
    Tammy Tuthill

  • 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.
    Jeremy

  • Virginia welcomes you and salutes you. How can we get Alix nominated as ABC News 'Person of the Week' ?
    Andy

  • Peace is knowing you finished this inspiring journey safely!
    John A.

  • Peace is the sun rising on the day I see you again.
    Daphne

  • Peace is being here now, paying attention, and knowing that every move, every thought, feeling, action can be a choice toward peace. At the funeral this morning for my neighbor's mom, I saw peace in the loving embraces and tears that brought us all together to celebrate the life of Dorothy. She inspired everyone with her peace and love. Just days before she died, she had a dream and woke to say, over and over, "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

    Thanks, Alix, for asking us to write what is peace. Thanks for riding your scooter all around the country, and for being here now. Beautiful!

  • Peace: absence of violent and hateful conflict. Abundance of love, compassion, and compromise.
    VaVaVroom Denise

  • Peace to me is, simply, empowerment to follow what is in your heart, given by and shared with those around you. It requires mutual trust and respect and selflessness to cultivate and blossom.

    Peace is hard because fully practicing it leaves one vulnerable, and that makes many of us feel uncomforatable. I think that explains a lot of the non-peaceful actions committed in our world. Those who work on behalf of peace rarely achieve what is commonly defined as riches and rewards but, I suspect, earn something far more valuable.

    Peace is not just an act or a state of being but it is also an embodiment. Peace is you, Alix. Thank you for following your heart and sharing it with all of us.

  • Awareness and Intent.
    It seems so easy, but so sloppy and graceless, to live without these things and therefore they become, for me, keys to peace.

    It is with these things in mind (of mind) that Alix has found her peace and the strength to keep it.

    I support her. I support you. You are peace.
    Dana J

  • Peace is opening your mind and heart to change!
    Alix, You must realize that you have signified change in people across the nation,...we have kept you in our thoughts and hopefully if you are ever in our neighborhood you'll stop by....you have not only opened our mind by our heart to peace for everyone. Keep it up and hopefully it ripply in the the individuals thoughts across the nation.

  • I have many long and short definitions for peace. Today, it is each moment that I am so still inside that everything outside of me is a beautiful expression of that which I also am, no matter what. Loving the expression of needs met and unmet and awaiting spirit's prompting as to what my response in each moment shall be.
    Karen Johnson

  • Understanding that amongst the gays, blacks, whites, jews, Muslems, Christians, and other "dividers" in our world are just a bunch of souls doing the best they can to get through another day. It's amazing how many good people you can meet when you make an effort to assist them in that goal instead of being an obstacle.

    I would also say that the minorities of this world, and we are all a minority in some way or form, need to resist the urge to "get back" at the majorities that have suppressed for so long. It disappoints me to say this is just as much of a problem as discrimination from the majority.

  • Definition of peace: Actively seeking out the good in each and every person, regardless of their traits and habits you may not understand. I have always felt that if every person thought for THEMSELVES instead of letting a govt, media outlet, religion, or other person or persons think for them, the world would be a better place.

    I learned this first hand. My parents were of the type that if you made less money, you were lazy and if you made more, you were somehow crooked or greedy. If you drove a different type of car than my parents you might be criticized. You can only imagine what my folks think about different races and homosexuality.

    Please understand the hurdle of NOT hating folks like this. I love my parents and fully understand that they are just working with the knowledge they were provided, never having the opportunity to leave the small town and predetermined thoughts that go with the long established community. The best we can do is try to put "dents" in their armor of status quo. My father has met minority friends of mine and has shook the hand of gay men.

    I have no agenda towards this beyond meeting and enjoying as many souls in this world as I can before I check out. Life is too short to hate someone because they might have darker or lighter skin, different musical tastes, homosexuality, etc. I might draw the line at being a Dallas Cowboys fan (JUST KIDDING!!!)
