We can celebrate the founding of the United Nations today by thinking about how we can bring harmony and balance into our own lives. The brilliant Taoist philosopher Lao Tsu reminds: 'If there is peace in the world, there must be peace in the nations, there must be peace in the cities. If there is to be peace in the cities, there must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors, there must be peace in the home. If there is to be peace in the home, there must be peace in the heart.' What he is highlighting is the power of the ripple effect.
One of the easiest and seasonally sensational ways to bring peace to the home is to have a wooden bowl of apples out on the kitchen or dining room table. Long considered a token of peace and friendship, when you create an atmosphere of loving peacefulness in your own environment you have also just contributed those same powerful sentiments for the planet! United with peace, for all Nations we stand!
