Peace, the Unrulies found on a closer look, is a state of mind and heart but also an elusive state of being. So much of what we find peaceful involves quiet, reflection, contentment. Peace above all is a yearning to avoid strife, war, tension and exist in harmony. Much of history records this desire and dashed hopes as peace eludes humans caught in competition for land, resources, ways of life. Nature offers enduring hope in many of the pieces we perform this month. We invite you to meditate on your own quest for peace. The search alone can bring glimpses of happiness, and yes, moments of harmony.
