About Peace Meme
- THE PARADIGM OF PEACE:As long as we all buy into the paradigm that tells us war, violence, strife and terror are the only possible reality, we're going to get more of the same. Join us in envisioning a new reality, a paradigm of peace. Let it start inside individuals, spread to families, and radiate to our communities, our country, our world. Will you put one of our magnets on your car to let others start to think about peace? A quarter of all proceeds go to organizations that are working toward a more peaceable future. This quarter's donations will go to CARE's efforts in Darfur.

Peace as Self-Development
In trying to reconnect with the emotion that led me to begin this blog two years ago, I was struggling with the question of what peace really meant to me. My original idea was that peace in the external world has to begin with an inner peace in me. If I could feel peace on the inside, I had faith that I would begin to see peace in the world around me. This has proven a daunting task. Between arguing with my wife over trivial matters and getting impatient with my daughters for being little kids, I can't even create peace in my own household. So, what was the point of trying to sustain a blog about peace?
