Quakers talk often about peace and consider it a bedrock testimony, but I haven't always stopped to think about what it means, or about how to engage in peace in daily life—how peacefulness might be different than mere "niceness." Thank you for your work in creating the BlogBlast—it's been a real opportunity to <i>think</i>.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297253093260251145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-8372322175388935452010-11-15T17:53:41.653-07:002010-11-15T17:53:41.653-07:00"To answer that of God in those around you—to..."To answer that of God in those around you—to respond to the goodness in them, to speak to what is admirable in them—is to base every action on kinship, on respect.

I see that we are both Elvis-lovers and rejoice. Blessings to you and yours.<br /><br />Jan Lyn, your words mean so much to me. I find that Quakers, perhaps more than most, are aware of identity, maybe because Quaker identity stands so far apart from the world's values. I'm hesitant to take on the label because I don't feel like I can do so honestly, even though the Friends' values resonate so powerfully with mine. Thank you for reminding me how irrelevant the label is compared with the pilgrimage toward the Light. —StacyStacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297253093260251145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-37120372601085543062010-11-10T13:16:57.131-07:002010-11-10T13:16:57.131-07:00Stacey, this is a great post, or posts, I should s...Stacey, this is a great post, or posts, I should say. I've not kept up reading blogs due to various reasons and am so glad I've stopped in today.<br />I hear your soul and your doubts and there is much room in the Spirit for them to be honored. Thank you for sharing your honesty..I find that I used to refer (and still do often) about my life of faith as a journey. A journey some how has a destination, and so these days, I catch myself calling it a pilgrimage-to be open to what the Holy Spirit has for me. I think perhaps God is more interested in us and our heart attitudes than the labels, such as 'Quaker' that we take on along the way. You have a beautiful heart attitude. All manner of things will be well.<br />Jan LynJan Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642571561383445699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534450478022541384.post-30337946375470636722010-11-07T16:09:24.305-07:002010-11-07T16:09:24.305-07:00:-D This brought a smile to me...especially when y...:-D This brought a smile to me...especially when you speak of your choir teacher and how he brought you all together.

The last month or so has been a little discombobulated, but I'm looking forward to reading more of her work as things calm down.<br /><br />Sherry Blue Sky, thank you! What kind and lovely words. I enjoyed my visit to your blog as well, with your beautiful photos of the river! Please do come back—it sounds like we have much in common. <br /><br />Travis, thank you for your comments and kind wishes.
