To Create Peace

In order to create peace, I start with my own life.

In order to create peace, everyone I know starts with their own life.

In order to create peace, everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, starts with their own life.

————————

To start, I take a deep breath.

I will move with calm today.

I will not be rushed.

I will find the peaceful things around me to appreciate, how beautiful the clouds are, a lovely drive in the country, now nice for someone to hold the door for me.

I will let my appreciation and my peace expand.

I will be patient with myself and with others.

I will listen attentively in conversation.

I will be grateful for good work, for politeness, for sincerity.

I will look at the world with imagination.

I will expect solutions to appear for all of us.

And I will imagine that everyone is creating more peace in their life, too.
