Prayer of St Francis of Assisi:

Lord, make me an instrument of your PEACE..
Where there is hatred, let me sow LOVE.
Where there is injury; PARDON.
Where there is doubt; FAITH.
Where there is despair; HOPE.
Where there is darkness; LIGHT.
Where there is sadness; JOY.

LET LOVE--- LOVE!

NEVER LET YESTERDAY

USE UP TODAY!

"Those old habits don't have to be erased, they just become replaced by a new habit that is more in vibrational harmony with who you are and what you want." – Abraham Hicks

Would you rather be right, stubborn, justified? Or have what your heart desires? Is being right, stubborn or justified what your heart truly desires or does it desire Love, Joy, Peace and Oneness?

Do you swallow your pride and move forward or allow your… Continue

Disempowering the obstacles

I saw some people's message here at iPeace about there being no obstacles for peace. I've decided to join the team. Previously I had learned that when I focus on problems they grow. Now, I think that even if I believe they exist, I am contributing to their continued survival. If I keep acknowledging the obstacles I just help them hang on. I want my energy to go where it belongs - to Peace and Love.

En mi pecho

Las aletadas golpean muy dentro

mis órganos de ámbar y de perlas

Afuera una golondrina

estremece mi mundo de azúcar

y me siento una flor de algodón

dulce

que se reparte a los zunzunes

Adentro un músculo habla

el corazón tambalea

Y ella no se detiene

Más allá de mi carne la veo

Blanca Libre

aleteando en mi pecho

La refulgente… Continue

On this day in History!

Pearl Harbor was bombed and many remember it in there own way

we think of the ones who lost their lives and remember the tragedy that changed our Nation

Today I have said my prayers in my own way and ask for forgiveness to the ones who attacked us even though I wasn't born yet

If we don't do this,it will continue to haunt us long after the last one has passed into the Spirit World

We must also remember that we ended that war to end all wars and that was what was suppose… Continue

Peace and My Thoughts

Thoughts are more powerful than actions beacause they are the creators
of action. You have to keep in mind that the thought-waves of your
good wishes and pure feelings, your vibrations of peace and love, can
once again bring harmony in nature and happiness in the world.

Quotes of Compassion from His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.

I myself feel, and also tell other Buddhists that the question of Nirvana will come later.

There is not much hurry. If in day to day life you lead a good life, honesty, with love, with compassion, with less selfishness, then automatically it will lead to Nirvana.

If the love within your mind is lost and you see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or… Continue

Quotes: In the Words of Buddha

A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.

Buddha

A jug fills drop by drop.

Buddha

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

Buddha

All that we are is the result of… Continue

May 10, 1994- The Day the Whole World Listened

Timeless words with infinite relevance for our own lives.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, Who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We… Continue

Quotes from "The Art of Peace" by Morihei Ueshiba

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.

The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace… Continue

Quotes for Inner Peace.

Peace of mind is not a goal I need achieve. It's a place inside I never want to leave. Close my eyes, I still my thoughts and then I say I will choose to live in peace today.

-Robert Alan

We can only help make our lives and our world more peaceful, when we ourselves feel peace. Peace already exists within each of us, if we only allow ourselves to feel its comfort. Peace of mind begins when we stop thinking about how far we have to go, or how hard the road has been, and… Continue

Year End Reflection

Each month of December I reflect on the past year. These are my thoughts for 2008.

We are now approaching the end of another year and with each passing day

I look back and smile. I should be feeling old but on the contrary I

feel young. While life hasn't been easy, it's been good and I'm very

thankful for that.

My children are happy and independent. The twins Samantha and Michael

are 20 and doing well in college. Sam is studding English and… Continue

Native American Code of Ethics

Sharing what has been shared with me. This offers much to think about.

NATIVE AMERICAN CODE OF ETHICS

1. Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often. The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.

2. Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance, conceit,

anger, jealousy and greed stem from a lost soul. Pray that they will

find guidance.

3. Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others to make your

path for… Continue
