THINK ABOUT IT

"Here's a bright idea.
Add a passenger to your car instead of driving alone.
Passengers stimulate conversation,
leading to a better understanding of each other,
and eventually we might acheive world peace.
Now that's something to talk about."

By studying Peace as my 2007 Intention, I am always on the lookout for any quote that talks about Peace. I was having some lab tests done this morning and saw this sign as I was leaving Virginia Mason Clinic in our neighborhood. We live in the suburbs of Seattle where the traffic, on the I-5 Interstate, is really heavy during rush hours and continues to get worse as more people move into this area. I am thankful I don't have to drive to work in downtown Seattle, where some people are spending 3-4 hours a day in a work day commute. Isn't this a great idea; to think that commuting would help bring about World Peace! Actually I do understand the point; that we need to communicate with each other to further understand and accept our differences.
