Creating Peace
September 21st is The International Day of Peace, established in 1981 by a unanimous United Nations resolution. Each year, this “Peace Day” provides a “globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace”. We’ll celebrate this day and converse about what we can do as individuals and in community to nurture this vital mission on a daily basis!
Quotes to ponder
“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
“Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.” ~ Dalai Lama
“Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh
“Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.” ~ John F. Kennedy

“Paths of Heart Presents…” House Concert Series – Our next concert will be Saturday, Oct. 5th with The Home Fires (Vicky Emerson and Sarah Morris) from Minneapolis. We’ll have a potluck finger food and beverage intermission. Suggested donation $20 at the door. Mark your calendars!
We have recently learned that due to a serious knee injury, our Saturday, Oct. 19th concert with Tracy Grammer has been cancelled so that she can focus on rehab and repair.

We send her our best wishes for grace and ease in her recovery. We’ll keep you posted!

Car-eography
You
may park in the driveway, as well as diagonally along the north side of
our property. Should those areas become full, please park out on Hwy
1, which has plenty of space and a nice wide shoulder. Do watch for
passing cars as you are exiting and entering your vehicle, though! The
carport area is reserved for folks with special parking needs. Out of
respect for our neighbors, we ask that you kindly refrain from parking
on Evans Drive beyond our property line. Car pooling is encouraged. We
also have a bike rack for cyclists!
