    War is Over! - An inspiring possibility

    We have for years gathered on Saturday mornings with the common purpose of moving toward both inner peace and world peace.  

    Bud Hayes and all of you in Inner Peace - World Peace came to mind when I saw this video, and so I want to share it with you: Is War is Over?  A Paradox Explained.  

    Your views are important to me and I hope you'll comment.
