What would peace on earth look like? How would we know it? Where would it come from? Following the advice of Mahatma Gandhi to "be the change you wish to see in the world," Susyn Reeve has set out to help each of us answer these questions for ourselves. It is from the small stuff of daily choices and activities, from phoning an old friend to planting seeds, among a myriad of others, that peace and happiness thrive in our lives. As Reeve writes in the Introduction, "Another way of saying this is from the New Thought religion: 'Thoughts held in mind manifest over time.'" Book jacket.
