In the past couple of days, I have had conversations with colleagues about the Walk for Peace and the place deep within me that it comes from. As it happens, both conversations have been late in the day, which is a time when I usually find myself tired and ready to be done for the day. What I love is, that as soon as I am talking with others about the Walk, building community around Peace or speaking about Peace, my energy is immediately plentiful and my enthusiasm, undeniable.
You see, I believe that Peace Unites.
When I find a place of Peace within myself, there is a way in which this energy becomes something that others can feel in me, just as I can feel it when I am around people who are in community and share Peace as the common goal.
I looked at Gracie (top photo), and Lurp (orange tabby) today, I found myself wondering what it would feel like to be one of two cats on a ranch with a significant number of dogs, two horses and a bunch of people coming and going all the time. And, I giggled, because both of them seem to have their own Peaceful way of being, and I am drawn to them. They each have a Peaceful way of navigating what could be a difficult environment and finding a way to be still in the midst of constant activity. 
Tonight, I am grateful for cats and all that I can learn about Peace from them. And I am grateful for colleagues and the passion of purpose they bring out in me.
