Peace

Peace is hard
War is easy
Peace is constant effort
Peace is dialogue
Peace is a slow, careful cultivation
Peace requires constant attention
To be tended to as a beautiful garden
Or a forest strong yet vulnerable
If neglected
Tended carelessly or lazily
Even a 100,000 acres of trees and grass
may be s destroyed by one glowing ember.
The ember of war
The ember if fear
The ember of hate
The ember of distrust
Be vigilant oh warriors of peace
Be diligent, envoys of compassion
Be strong, messengers of mercy
Carry your strength humbly
Tenders of the Garden

Peace to all

    Like charity, peace begins at home/within, but should not end there.

    I am off to do my pieces of Peace
    and love laff

    As usual I start with my self (if still available - oh it is)
    Sooner rather than later there will be Nothing Left
    but that is all Right

    Now time to put the Right where I Left them...
    ... all over the place...

    tsk, tsk. What a shower... Better start preparing for the Metteyya
