Quotations

One world; one seed
A little love from time to time. . .
We’ll make it grow, a sheltering tree
And that is all we’ll need
(“The Art of Being Kind”)

“I believe that we have to be able to create peace in our own lives and hearts before we can hope to have peace in the world. When we listen to another without judging, when we listen with patience and tolerance, when we speak truthfully, with a tone of voice that promotes understanding, then we are all peacemakers, capable of healing and transforming the world we all share.” (David Portorti, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, 2003, p. 211; photo kristinaolsen)
