in the midst.
“peace is not the end of the mundane, troublesome, and painful moments of life.
peace is created in the midst of the mundane, troublesome, and painful moments
as we look for the good in all things,
grasp tiny moments of joy,
glittering in the darkness,
and gather hope into a soft place to rest when life grows hard.”

‘Friends Who Share Balloons’
—
“peace is not merely the absence of warfare,
any more than true health is simply the absence of a disease.
nor is peace simply a quiet state of equilibrium –
impossible to achieve in an evolving system.
though refraining from harm is an essential first step,
lasting peace is created by actively redressing harm done.
peace is a creative process of joining i and thou into a co-creative we.
it requires authentic communication, empathic listening, and wildly creative solutions.”

for a heart to be too big.
