Thank you dear Whitebird for your action to bring Peace to the front. For it is holding that and being that ideal, which gives us hope. Your thoughts stir it up and I believe it is contagious.
I get those sick, disgusted, confused feelings too, reading the Gays in Religion post earlier brought up my hate and worry. Honoring our emotions is healthy. Perhaps if we bring our attention to seeing the goodness around us, the beauty in Nature, the innocence of a child, the joy of lovers, the kindness of neighbors we can nourish and sustain that inner peace, which we can then radiate out to others by Being Peaceful. Direct social action is important and has it's place. I respect the peace advocates, but we can do our small part too every day.
Keep believing, feeling and recognizing the peace that IS all around...

If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.--Thich Nhat Hanh
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.--Mother Teresa
