we are so casual about violence. we condone violence. we fear violence. we create violence. even when we avoid violence we are violent spirits. that said, each act of peace causes and engenders peace. we met in the meadow a famously aggressive boy of the chesapeake tribe who's human was nervous, and we met in peace. there was bristling potential for violence and there was history of violence but the result of a collective will to peace was peace. bill, i  praise the peace within you. good dog. let's go out today with smiles and peace in our hearts.
