It takes courage and strength to follow a peaceful path. How does one deal with today's world without resorting to violence? There is no easy answer. That's what makes it difficult. Extraordinary leadership is required to truly pursue peace.
John Lennon and Yoko One used to encourage folks to "declare peace." Today, the American Friends Service Committee challenges us to "wage peace." They have some interesting thoughts on the matter. Check them out.

The photo I thought was quite powerful until I watched the 'Wage Peace' film. Arresting, in a word.
Dale makes a good point - watch the film if you can. It's good. Thanks Dale.
Good point about "Wage Peace." The word "peace" has nearly disappeared from our daily discourse and those of us who believe in it as a value should take steps to reintroduce it into dialogs at all levels...unless we are thinking peace it will never happen.
I miss John Lennon!!!
