First peace in the souls of people.


"The first peace, which is the most important,
is that which comes within the souls of people
when they realize their relationship,
their oneness with the universe and all its powers,
and when they realize that at the center of the universe
dwells the Great Spirit,
and that this center is really everywhere,
it is within each of us."

The power of the universe.  We are one "with the universe and all its power." Wow. That sounds like a lot of power. I can't say that I feel that powerful. When I see photos of outer space, it makes me feel like a tiny little speck of sand on the beach. I am thankful to believe that a Great Spirit really does live in each of us, guiding us and helping us in our daily lives. I am thankful for that help and guidance.
