Be Peace

"We can never obtain peace in the world if we neglect
the inner world and don't make peace with ourselves.
World Peace must develop out of inner peace."
—The Dalai Lama

Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya Sooner or later, girl, you've got to give in Sooner or later, love is gonna let ya Sooner or later, love is gonna win
Its just a matter of time Before you make up your mind To give all that love that you've been hiding Its just a question of when I've told you time and again I'll get all the love you've been denying

You say you'll never be mine But darling, they'll come a time I'll taste all that love that you've been hiding Its just a question of time Before you make up your mind And give all that love you've been denying
You've been looking for love In all the wrong places You've been looking for love All the wrong faces Gotta get ya girl On this illusion Gonna save your heart From all this confusion
Sooner or later... [repeat]
Its just a matter of time Before you make up your mind To give all that love that you've been hiding Its just a question of when I've told you time and again I'll get all the love you've been denying
Sooner or later... [repeat twice]

And I know what I want to do I can try to enlighten you If you've seen it, better keep it, don't let go Hold the Light, it's inside And will be there day or night We can be somewhere, Hold the Light.
It's so hard to hold on, but you can if you try Don't be mislead by what you've been brought up to do It's for the better in you, and will be there day or night We can be somewhere, Hold the Light.
And I've touched what I want to reach And it's things I would like to teach If you've seen it, better keep it, don't let go.

There is a Season

Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season) by The Byrds, 1965

To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time for every purpose, under heaven.
A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep.
To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time for every purpose, under heaven.
A time to build up, a time to break down A time to dance, a time to mourn A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together.
To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time for every purpose, under heaven.
A time of love, a time of hate A time of war, a time of peace A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing.
To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time for every purpose, under heaven.
A time to gain, a time to lose A time to rend, a time to sew A time to love, a time to hate A time for peace, I swear its not too late.

Get Together

Let's Get Together by The Youngbloods

Love is but the song we sing, And fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Know the dove is on the wing And you need not know why C'mon people now, Smile on your brother Ev'rybody get together Try and love one another right now.
Some will come and some will go We shall surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moments sunlight Fading in the grass C'mon people now, Smile on your brother Ev'rybody get together Try and love one another right now.
If you hear the song I sing, You must understand You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at your command C'mon people now, Smile on your brother Ev'rybody get together Try and love one another right now Right now Right now!

Image: "Cosmic Heart" by Willow Arlenea - Behind all the layers of form there is a presence of Divine Compassion, the Cosmic Heart. One can journey into the depths of one's own heart, beneath the layers of pain, grief and desire, and connect with this universal, radiating completely loving presence. It is the underlying fabric of the universe and is always available.

Angel of Peace

Let There Be Peace On Earth

Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me
Let there be peace on Earth, the peace that was meant to be!
With God as our Father, brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother in perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me. Let this be the moment now.
With every breath I take, let this be my joyous vow;
To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally!
Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me.
