Hello! 

This week, I offer " Keep Peace - Change the World II". Last week, I considered the impact of positive communication as one way we can individually and collectively change the world for the better. This week, I am pondering the impact of "positive being" upon communication, and upon positive change.

Words are the tip of the iceberg of communication. The words we say or write, our tone of voice, our facial expressions, our body language are all above the ocean. Below the surface, lies the larger, deeper source of our meaning, our very essence. Call it a vibe, or heart, or More. When we communicate, we convey much More from our inner selves than we do with merely the words. All the more reason to take time every day for quiet reflection, and to find ways to nurture peace within, if we are ever to further peace anywhere.

This week's image is a dove atop a spent agave flower stalk in Tonto Basin, Arizona, just as early evening shadows begin to lengthen. Enjoy.

Sincerely with love,

Emmie Derise
