Peace is not just a colored ribbon. It's more than a wristband or a t-shirt. It's not just a donation or a 5 K race. It's not just a folk song, or a white dove.

If you are yourself at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world. Then share your peace with everyone, and everyone will be at peace.
