Quotes

Reflection
Make room for what is here in this present moment, release the hurts and resentments and mistakes of the past and be present to the nonviolent presence you are right here right now. In the presence of a man or woman in whom all fear has been released, no one can be afraid. This is the power of true nonviolence, as we can see in the life of Gandhi and King. Because they had released all hostility, they were a profound force for peace. Release the weight of your past, the judgments of yourself and others, and be the change you wish to see. You really do make a difference in our world. |

Action for Teens
Today, look back on how far you have come during this 64 day practice of nonviolence. Make a list of what you need to release in order to be a more nonviolent person. Is it your temper, your impatience, your judgmental attitude? Release what is no longer serving you, and make new commitments to yourself to be more peaceful and loving. Know that you truly make a difference in the world. Action for Children If you are holding a grudge against someone who hurt you in the past, today is a good day to let go of it. Surprise that person by doing or saying something nice to him/her. |
