Well, this entry is a bit personal. But as with all my writings, I offer it in hopes that it might find anyone who knows they can relate and perhaps provoke a person who needs to relate.

This spring Jan and John Atkinson hosted me in San Diego. I just received word from them that their son Rob died last week. He was crossing the road when a car hit him.
I did not know Robert, but I was blessed to share more life experiences with his parents, in just brief moments, than […]

That is my dear friend of 10+years, Erika, from Portland, OR. In the background, I believe, is her sister.
Also randomly found on the internet, on Google Maps Streetview–my scooter. And a block away–ME. This was a big, although creepy, surprise. I stumbled across this because Mikie Taps, on Modern Buddy, […]

Wrasslin’ and Peace
By: admin on: Mar 13,2008 In: Charlottesville, Community, Fundraising, Peace, Direct ActionBoth 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 […]

For Scoot New Orleans Club
By: admin on: Jul 30,2007 In: Scooter Clubs, Gulf Coast, 2007 Blog, PeaceHey 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 […]

Gear, Gardens and Subleasers
By: admin on: Jul 6,2007 In: Coffee, Genuine, Travel Gear, 2007 Blog, Preparation, PeaceHope 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. […]

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.
