PEACEFULNESS


"Peacefulness is inner calm and tranquility.
It is a sense of harmony with all creation.
Inner peace comes from quiet reflection and prayer.
We release the past and let anxiety go.
We keep a graceful pace,
not allowing ourselves to be rushed or overwhelmed.
We do not give in to anger.
We resolve conflict in a just and gentle way.
Peace is giving up the love of power for the power of love.
We choose the unity of peace over the fragmentation of fear.
Peace in the world begins with peace in our lives."

"The Virtues Project”

It is so fun to watch the Finch share the food. They know how to "resolve conflict in a just and gentle way."
