KennedyPeace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.Doc Childre, Freeze-FrameWhen you slow down, step back a moment and put things in perspective, you can then move on with more efficiency.

Love is the tool, and more love is the end product.Doc Childre, Teaching Children to LoveHarmonizing heart and brain through love is what can establish a complete intelligence, a complete self, where a child can look at life and realize there are no dead ends, there are always possibilities.

Our higher potential finds us when we set our course in that direction. The power of love and compassion transforms insecurity.Sara Paddison, The Hidden Power of the HeartEnthusiasm created from the heart is the spirit of the matter. It ignites your whole system so there's no drag, no resistance, no thoughts like "Do I have to?" coming from the head to sabotage the power of your surrender.Doc ChildreLove fulfilled sees where we could have gone the way of love before, if we'd known how, and how insecurities limited many of our choices. Love fulfilled perceives new meaning and higher reasons behind many of the mysteries of why things happened as they did.
