While peace starts within, it must not end there. Your physical presence is needed or your peace cannot penetrate and perpetuate. I've come to believe that much of our problem today is due to the fact that violence makes more noise and moves around so much more than peace, and consequently violence gets more media coverage than peace.

My personal favorite solution to this problem is public song and dance, and my favorite example of that can be seen here. Another way to make our peace public is to celebrate in public places where the media have access to us. Participation in nature walks, book circles, drum circles, multi-ethnic food fairs, and festivals of all kinds will go a long way toward making peaceful sounds and movements even if you're not the type to demonstrate or attend political rallies.
