what have you done recently to plant the seed of peace in yourself, family, town, county, state, country, world?
This is a very good question and requires a lot of thought. the seed of peace within me. I believe that true peace has to begin with me,, I have no right to expect others to make the sacrifices that are needed if I am unwilling to make them myself. The old song is very true, "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me." . That means I have to be at peace with who I am, what I believe and how I respond to my world. Then I have to take the responsibility for who I am and what I do, with out excuses. As for the rest ,, I can only do what is placed before me speaking out against wrongs and trying to live life as a model for others to follow. Not that I am very good at that. I just can try. As for success only history will tell Mean while I will continue chasing my creator, hopefully like a child emulating their father.
