"Visualize this: I want to cast peace before us today as if peace were seeds, millions of seeds, being thrown forward by millions of people, thrown into the field of days to come, falling to the earth, rooting peace into our lives. In this way, this spiritual way, anger and violence will be overcome by the focused intention of our hearts. Peace will be strengthened, for it needs strengthening if it is to withstand the worst that evil can devise. Together, we can cast our shared hope forward, like seeds that will one day grow to nourish us all. Today I will be focusing all of the spiritual energy I have on a single vision: peace for every heart that will embrace it. Peace like seeds, falling to earth as new life to give hope to the battered world..." ~ Steven Charleston
