Happy International Peace Day and beyond! Our dear friend Amy is hosting the round-up this week at her poem patch, The Poem Farm.
The theme of this year's International Day of Peace is Together for Peace: Respect, Safety and Dignity for All. So what does "peace" really mean? Webster's dictionary defines the word peace as: 1. a state of tranquility or quiet 2. freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions 3. harmony in personal relations 4. a state or period of mutual concord between governments While these words describe the common definition of one of our favorite five letter words in poetry, I'm certain we could each give our own unique definition of what peace means to us. In fact, let's give it a try right now. Think about the word peace and what it means to you. How would you define peace in your life, work, and in your world? No matter how you describe it, a day of peace is a day shared with all humanity. And that's always something to celebrate. If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships-the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace. Franklin D Roosevelt
