ARMISTICE

When opposing sides agree to a truce or a temporary cessation of violence, 
an Armistice is called. What more than the obvious (pausing violence) might be gained?

In negotiating peace, studies are made. Who are you? Who are they? How might a declared peace work, and will it last? Each force draws back and takes time to assess what is present in character, claim, and certitude. How much compromise will be made? What is protected and what is yielded?

While each of us fights these battles, and pauses, within our selves, we also fight them within our communities and the world at large. You have heard the terms: “end game,” “long game,” “ceded a battle to win a war,” “uneasy peace,” and “crushing defeat.”

Measure what it is you are currently warring against. What beliefs, systems, cultures, persons, or behaviors feel opposed to your own? Are differences arbitrary (to you and your beliefs), or are these differences opposed at the core of humanity?

Save your energy where you may for the processes of Love and Creation. In the places where you war, call an Armistice (if you can). Take time to study the battlefield and weigh the possible outcomes of re-engagement. Enjoy Peace where you can make it, and War only when it is a last defense and aligned with Great All’s core.

Where are you today? How do your wars rage?
