Season of Nonviolence - Day 9

Welcome to Day 9 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 9: DREAMING

Martin Luther King, Jr., had a great dream.  Follow your dream; follow your heart; follow your inner light.   

There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask, 'Why?' I dream of things that never were, and ask 'Why not?'  ~ Robert F Kennedy

Today:  I take ownership of my own dream for peace and nonviolence.  I will write down and act on at least one thing to honor my dream today.
