A Practice of Peace (Tova Averbuch)

[Julie Smith]

Meg, you wrote

> What if peace is a verb, not a noun? As you say, Harrison, a process,
not
> an end state?

Yes!  And... what if peace is a verb AND a noun, a process AND an end
state?

That's what I liked so much about that E. Pluribus Unum stuff.....

1.  From many (nouns)
2.  , (stuff happening in the comma time/space)(verb)
3.  one. (noun)

That fits well with what my life feels like..... all that process/verb
stuff has an impact on noun/me.  When I use peaceful practices, I reach
a more peaceable state.  Both/And.

(Life is oh so good today..... bright blue skies..... Michael arrived
late last night..... Chris and Judi arrive later today...... other
peacemakers from around the state beginning to converge..... the fun
begins!)

I must also say that every time one of these e-mails passes through my
list, with Tova named in each and every one, I'm glad.  I feel
strengthened each time I read the name Tova Averbuch next to the words
"A Practice of Peace."  Tova, I hope you know your spirit weaves through
and strengthens us.

Julie
