I wanted to attract a partner who would choose peace over war and love over hate. A peace-lover, even a conscientious objector if the need arises, is an energy that I simply want more of in the world. I believe that any one person can move the proverbial mountain, and I wanted to share my life with a person who would join me in choosing peace. The song, “Let There Be Peace On Earth,” that emerged from the folksong movement of the late 50’s is the pacifists’ mantra: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 our creator,family all are we.Let us walk with each otherin perfect harmony.I know it sounds lofty and unrealistic to some, but for me, I choose to walk with others harmoniously now, in this lifetime.
