[From The Season for Nonviolence, 64 Ways in 64 Days pamphlet]
"Feb. 21 PRAYER 'Prayer from the heart can achieve what nothing else in the world can,' said Gandhi.  Begin and end the day with a prayer for peace.  Let peace begin with you."
This is a good reminder for me.  I spent the first half of my adult life working for social justice, social change and I've spent the latter part working to change my life from the inside out.  I pray every single day for strength, courage, thea bility to be kind, loving, peaceful.  I let peace begin with me, but I almost never pray for world peace, or peace generally, just peace for me. 
I believe there is no separation between any of us.  We are all one.  We are all connected.  Therefore, is there a difference between a prayer for world peace and a prayer for my peace of mind?
