More From Jim Harrison

Just because something is typed-whether it is typed on a business card or typed in a newspaper or book-this does not mean that it is true.

Perhaps peace is not, after all, something you work for, or 'fight for.' it is indeed 'fighting for peace' that starts all the wars. what, after all, are the pretexts of all these cold war crises, but 'fighting for peace?' peace is something you have or do not have. if you are yourself at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world. then share your peace with everyone, and everyone will be at peace.

We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.

It just was a gradual development over the years. i mean last year was 'all you need is love.' this year, it's 'all you need is love and peace, baby.' give peace a chance, and remember love. the only hope for us is peace. violence begets violence. you can have peace as soon as you like if we all pull together. you're all geniuses, and you're all beautiful. you don't need anyone to tell you who you are. you are what you are. get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.

The twentieth century had dispensed with the formal declaration of war and introduced the fifth column, sabotage, cold war, and war by proxy, but that was only the begining. summit meetings for disarmament pursued mutual understanding and a balance of power but were also held to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy. the world of the war-or-peace alternative became a world in which war was peace and peace war.

A few really dedicated people can offset the masses of out of harmony people, so we who work for peace must not falter, we must continue to pray for peace and to act for peace in whatever way we can. we must continue to speak for peace and to live the way of peace; to inspire others, we must continue to think of peace and know that peace is possible. what we dwell upon we help bring to manifestation. one little person giving all of her time to peace makes news. many people giving some of their time can make history.

Only through kindness and love can peace of mind be achieved.

I've been immersed in it too long. my spirit is wobbly and my mind is confused. the hurt has become too great.

Democracy is an objective. democratization is a process. democratization serves the cause of peace because it offers the possibility of justice and of progressive change without force.

If development is the new name for peace, war and preparations for war are the major enemy of the healthy development of peoples. if we take the common good of all humanity as our norm, instead of individual greed, peace would be possible.
