Happy New Year!  I wish you peace and blessings in this year of 2009.
 
“Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly buildng new structures.  And however undramatic the pursuit of peace, that pursuit must go on.”
                –    John Fitzgerald Kennedy
 
“The great teachings unanimously emphasize that all the peace, wisdom, and joy in the universe are already within us; we don’t have to gain, develop, or attain them. We’re like a child standing in a beautiful park with his eyes shut tight. We don’t need to imagine trees, flowers, deer, birds, and sky; we merely need to open our eyes and realize what is already here, who we really are — as soon as we quit pretending we’re small or unholy.”

Breathe in peace; breathe out discord.  Breathe in love of self and love of other; breathe out peace. And create a beautiful year.
