Dream 20- DP GLiDE#: 2f076y

My day started with reading the Peace Covenant and meditation.  I was really centered and calm.  I noticed as I went about getting ready that everyone was calm and purposeful.  Everyone was excited but they were calm, cooperative and attentive.  It was wonderful.  I thought of this being created (this attitude and consciousness) because of the meditation and disciplines we do in our studies.  I sat by the Healing Wall area and all day people were drawn to the area around the dome, talking and quiet.  There was a sense of tranquility in everyone.  The singer at the Dome during the afternoon sang many songs about the goodness in the world and about things in her life.  Then she told us, her two sons in their early 20’s were being shipped to Afghanistan.  I, at the time worried that Drew would join the army and shipped over seas.  I thought about what Will Bowen said about honest communication and how necessary it is to bring about peace and understanding in our lives.  I talked with many people, J*male and others like S*female.  We talked about the times we had lived together and what we had learned from each other and how grateful we were for the growth we had experienced.  Because the disciplines and what I have learned I am able to use all situations in my life to learn and grow instead of passing time complaining.  It allows me to have real conversations with others, to find truths and to release resentments and judgmentation.  This is the kind of world I want to live in.  A world of learning, growth, understanding and peace within myself.  Many people I talked with commented on how peaceful things were.  Everyone was open and receptive to each other.  It was refreshing.  This was peace to me.  I loved the openness with which people shared who they were with each other.  People came to me -presents- and thanked us for the opportunity to be part of our event.  There was a very peaceful quality to the day.  It was living what is in the Peace Covenant.  This whole day exemplifies the Peace Covenant.
