A Little Piece of Peace

"If you yourself are at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world." - Thomas Merton

As I strive to put myself at peace this afternoon, I have decided to try to share the few small bits I have found with you. I found that I can find much peace and inspiration in simple quotes and stories. I have collected quite a few over the past months, and even years I suppose, and have decided to post them on my blog. I have a feeling the chosen quote will reflect my current mood, and I may share a thought as well.

I hope that you might find some inspiration in the quotes as well. Enjoy!

"Having spent the better part of my life trying to either relive the past or experience the future before it arrives, I have come to believe that in between these two extremes is peace." - Unknown
