Principle of Peacemaking #7: “Pay Attention”

Principle of Peacemaking #6: “Truth Heals”
“If you’re the victim of a terrible atrocity, you know you can’t get justice – you can’t bring back the dead. It probably helps a bit to see the people responsible suffer, but what drives you really, really crazy is the feeling that other people are not seeing or acknowledging or validating the pain, and what you’ve experienced, and especially the truth of what you’ve experienced.” – Gabe

Principle of Peacemaking #5: “Notice the Loudness”
"I think the first step is noticing there isn’t peace right now, because at least for me, it was really hard to notice until afterwards, until after I was really upset.

Principle of Peacemaking #4: “Who here needs mercy?”
"It is just a fact that your wealth and your status in life is largely determined by where you're born. So if you're born in the US, if you're born into an upper middle class family, that's just luck. ...

Principle of Peacemaking #3: “Peacemaking is Creativity”
"You have to experiment, you have to iterate, and you might not get it right the first time . . .

"I think of peace as cyclical: you feel like you keep doing the same thing over and over again, but you are moving forward. The path forward is to keep repairing that relationship, to keep working on it. Thinking about it, it seems really daunting, but that's what's required if you're going to live together." - Tracey

Principle of Peacemaking #1: “Acceptance is a Catalyst for Change”
"A big part of van life was making peace with the fact that I am in this season of my life alone. Which isn't a negative thing - being alone isn't something to run away from. We should make peace with wherever we are in life and when we do that, then life can be so much more fulfilling." - Quinn
