Out in the real world I try my best to spread this message everywhere I go via my license plate. Some days are easier than others.
Driving around with this message on a daily basis carries a huge responsibility. It forces me to control my urge to get angry at other drivers, even when they deserve it. It reminds me to be courteous; mindful and respectful of those around me.
Believe me when I tell you these are not easy tasks to accomplish! Living in a world where everything is moving at the speed of light, patience are sparse and tempers run high make it challenging at best, but I try and that is a start. Trying and succeeding are not the same.
“True peace cannot be dictated, it can only be built in co-operation between all peoples. None of us, no nation, no citizen, is free from some responsibility for this.” Quakers in Britain in 1943
So fellow bloggers stand together for Peace and … Enjoy the Ride!
Thanks for including this message – much appreciated.
Spike.

Ha! Here you are. Back after hiatus.
This is a great message. With so much violence, it’s important to keep putting out positive vibes in our own little world.

I also thank you, and love your license plate. I can only imagine what it must be like being behind you on the highway. Some woman is yelling at her kid, or a guy is having a fight with his girl, and boom…there’s PEACE right before their eyes.
I’m a dove…even at gunpoint.
