Day 62 - Peace

Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and remain calm in your heart.

Reflection
  • Martin Luther King Jr. described negative peace as the absence of tension and positive peace as the presence of justice.
  • What does negative peace look like in your community?
  • How can we transform negative peace into positive peace?
Action
  • How can you create peace within your mind and soul?
  • What can you focus on that will bring inner peace?
  • Today, envision areas of unrest transformed into safe havens for all people.
