PeaceMakers do not stand on the sideline
They are not passive
They enter the fray
They are in the middle of it
They meticulously equip for battle
With sharpened tools of
knowledge
experience
good judgment
and empathy
Wisdom and Empathy is their battle axe
Wisdom and Empathy is their shield
Wisdom and Empathy is the core of their healing power
Peacemakers know that change
First comes from within
Before any hope of changing anyone else
Peacemakers do not seek to win
Losing is not possible
Winning nor losing are relevant
PeaceMakers do not see battle nor battlefield
They see Ceremony
They enter Ceremony with undaunted Courage
Because they KNOW they will leave …. different
Different … with deep understanding of Others
Different … with deep understanding of Themselves
Different … because the very trajectory of life
Will NEVER again be the same
After Living
On the Middle Edge
