Peace

 

“Peace is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it. — Thomas Merton

 
 
On most of my Christmas lists or New Year’s lists of hopes is “World Peace.” Merton calls me to task — I do think of it in the future tense, not believing it is possible in the present and I am looking for it on a global not personal scale.
Peace begins with me, even World Peace, and until I bring to the solution — love, warmth, and kindheartedness — and throw out all anger and discomfort there is no solution for peace either individually or in the World.
