Maria Duval - Peace Merchant Association

Peace Merchant Association
Who knew there was a merchant association for purveyors of peace-related paraphernalia? Not me. I found it on the Bark for Peace site and it made me laugh out loud with delight.

A Little Peace
When I gave motivational speeches to nuclear scientists many years ago, I used to ask them all a question. Do you think world peace is a good idea? To a person, they all thought it was rhetorical—every single time. I had to assure them that I didn’t ask rhetorical questions, and I always asked it aloud a second time. Do you think world peace is a good idea?

A Japanese Garden of Pure, Clear Harmony and Peace
Why does there need to be a garden of serenity on the Internet? Do we lack our own “real” gardens? Do we spend so much time in virtual reality that an Internet garden is preferable to one in the backyard?

Peace Symbol Turns 50
The well-known Peace Symbol was designed in 1958. This year is its 50th birthday.Isn’t it delightful that such a “new” symbol comes from such an “old” one? Wisdom is the same the world over. It’s knowledge that comes from experience. Peace, too, dear one. It’s the action that comes from love.

Peace Pioneer
In days of yore, pioneers—foot-soldiers—were often the youngest enlistees in the military. Pioneers, especially amongst young people, are exactly what is needed to create an organic peace on earth.

Peace Awaits
"The thing is: if Peace is the most important thing to me in the world, then I am honor-bound to make my every decision count for peace. I ask: Does this (whatever this is) contribute to Peace? Mine? That of others? The world? For every single thing I do."

An Induction to Analyse Tarot Cards
Tarot card divination may not be a real science; it might not be as accurate as some members of public would like to believe, but the market for tarot is ever growing through the availability of readings online and in other similar mediums.

Are You Right or Peaceful?
Thank you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. I’ve been using them nonstop since 2007 turned into 2008 and I cannot bear enough witness to how quickly things are changing for the better in my life. I use the words for peace on earth all the time. Dr. Hew Len has said, “You can choose to be ‘right,’ or to be peaceful. Being ‘right’ always leads to suffering.”

A Peace Which Overshadows
"Then I had an idea: what if there were a peace which overshadows? A peace SO BIG—like the arms of a toddler swearing how much she loves her mama and papa—that it would cover all those judgments and that puny personal love. This same piece is characterized in Christian Scripture as “the peace that passes all understanding.”
