\u00a0<\/strong>Peace is the Way<\/strong><\/p>\n
Peace is a continuous wish.<\/p>\n
We wish for it between countries, people and within ourselves.<\/p>\n
It cannot just be a wish it must be the manner of our being.<\/p>\n
Peace must drive our ideas,, our creations, the form of the world.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Peace is Between Individuals as Well<\/strong><\/p>\n
We hear about\u00a0 activists who strive to end wars.<\/p>\n
That is a wonderful cause.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think there is any other option.<\/p>\n
However, one should not forget the importance of peace between individuals as well.<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t stand on a street begging for a war to end and at the same time be violent with another human being.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Peace is not about being individually right, rather finding a joint right.<\/strong><\/p>\n
When I was younger, I was a bit stubborn.<\/p>\n
In earlier years, being right had a great importance.<\/p>\n
Today, I don\u2019t have a need to be right or for that matter to prove it.<\/p>\n
But I do strive to walk a path of a joint right when confrontation occurs.<\/p>\n
Peace is not about being individually right, rather finding a joint right.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The One That Our Soul Yearns For<\/b><\/p>\n
And then there is the inner peace.<\/a><\/p>\n
The one that our soul yearns for.<\/p>\n
I know for me; it is a constant place of learning.<\/p>\n
But one that allows my spirit to feel life in a profound way.<\/p>\n

Peace needs to be at every entrance and every exit.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
These past 9 months have brought much trauma to the world of peace for Israel and Gaza.<\/p>\n
At times holding peace for me was too heavy, to hard.<\/p>\n
So, I asked others to hold onto it.<\/p>\n
Yonatan Zeigen<\/a> was one of them.<\/p>\n
Until my heart and soul would get stronger to hold it again.<\/p>\n
And here I am.<\/p>\n
I wait for the 120 hostages to return home to their loved ones<\/p>\n
In between the moments of sorrow and hope, I hold more of peace on my way.<\/p>\n
The Hebrew word Shalom means Hello, Goodbye and Peace.<\/p>\n
Peace needs to be at every entrance and every exit.<\/p>\n
