This week's peace indicator came from my friend Johanna. When I asked her if she had ideas for peace indicators she replied "One, because peace begins with me."

Since several of the essays on peace that I've received so far have focused on the personal efforts required for peace, this seemed like the perfect indicator for this week. To reach a true state of peace in the world, we all have to work to make a difference.

If you have ideas of a peace indicator you would like to share, please leave a comment. If you would like to submit an essay about the meaning of peace, send contact us at oneminute@afsc.org.
