A Word with Laurie

"Dona Nobis Pacem" Grant Us Peace

La paix... pace... paz... vrede... rauha... frieden... shalom... peace; a simple word that can move mountains, restore relationships, spread love, calm waters.

It can suspend hostilities in the form of a truce or armistice.

It can bring one's mind to rest with emotional tranquility, equanimity, ataraxia.

In children's games, it can be an immunity or exemption call: fen, vents, fains, fain it, fains I, faintes, pax.

Peace promotors are conciliatory, irenic, pacific, placatory.

Between countries, peace can create amity, appeasement. It can resume with a rapprochement or detente.

In politics, a politician or advisor can be deemed a hawk (aggression over peace) or a dove (peaceful solutions).

So... the word for today is PEACE, in any shape or form. Let your PIECE speak.

Peace be with you.

    I hope this finds some of you still awake while it is still November 4. (Sherry, this means you, you're a time zone behind me.)
