If there is to be peace in the world, there must be peace in our communities.
If there is to be peace in our communities, there must be peace in our schools.
If there is to be peace in our schools, there must be peace in our homes.
If there is to be peace in our homes, there must be peace in our hearts.
If there is to be peace in our hearts, there must be seeds of peace planted there.
~Dee DiGioia ~ adapted from Lao Tse’s “Peace in the Nations”
Mahatma Gandhi once said, “If we are to have real peace, we must begin with the children” which I wholeheartedly agree with AND the responsibility of adults is to provide this type of education beginning with their own embodiment of the practices in their daily lives. We cannot expect children to learn and live a peaceful life when it is not being modelled by adults in their lives and in the world. For a peaceful world, we begin within. In so doing, each ONE of us, together, can transform the world, one mindful, kindful, peaceful choice at a time.
