Thimble 40 - If there is to be Peace

...




If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.


If there is to be peace in the nations,

There must be peace in the cities.


If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.


If there is to be peace between neighbors,

There must be peace in the home.


If there is to be peace in the home,

There must be peace in the heart.


Lao-Tse

    Sorry I took so long to reply, when I exported my posts across to this new blog I sort of forgot where the replies were.

Can one everyday person really make a difference and change the world? Isn't that a bit like trying to empty the ocean with a thimble?

Maybe... but what if you got everyone to help you?
What if we bailed with a billion thimbles?

These are my Thimblefuls for Peace... I hope they make you think.
