"Somehow this madness must cease. We must stop now. I speak as a child of God and brother to the suffering poor of Vietnam. I speak for those whose land is being laid waste, whose homes are being destroyed, whose culture is being subverted. I speak for the poor of America who are paying the double price of smashed hopes at home and death and corruption in Vietnam. I speak as a citizen of the world, for the world as it stands aghast at the path we have taken. I speak as an American to the leaders of my own nation. The great initiative in this war is ours. The initiative to stop it must be ours."
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
TAKE ACTION:
How do we begin to grow in peace?
Think globally and act locally.
Start today with yourself.
Take an inventory.
List actions you have made to create peace... in your heart, in your home, in your school or workplace, and in your community.
Ask yourself if you are harboring thoughts that will not contribute to peace?
Make a plan for healing.
Own those actions which are yours to own.
Make amends.
Pave the way to love.
Start today...
one small deed,
one well chosen word,
one prayer,
one step closer to compassion.
Do a random act of kindness,
be someone's angel today,
share yourself with others,
lighten someone's burden...
the choices towards peace are infinite.
Just do it.
NEVER SURRENDER TO DESPAIR.
