Season of Nonviolence - Day 25

Welcome to Day 25 of the Season of Nonviolence – 64 Days of peaceful wisdom honoring the lives and nonviolent principles of Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Cesar Chavez.

Nonviolence begins with learning how to be less violent and more compassionate towards ourselves. We learn by building the courage to speak and act with respect, honor and reverence for our own being.

Eleanor Roosevelt has urged, "You must do the things that you think you cannot do." Practicing these 64 Ways will challenge you to do things that you think you cannot do.



Day 25: FRIENDLINESS

To humorist Will Rogers, strangers were simply friends he hadn’t met.  View those you encounter today in that light.  Every time I am friendly toward another, I help break down the wall of separation and I contribute to nonviolence.   
 Today: I will make a new acquaintance, befriend a stranger.   I will go up to someone I haven’t met yet and say “Hi friend.”
