Peace, for me, is a state of harmony where individuals and communities coexist with mutual respect, understanding, and compassion. It’s a feeling of safety, calm, and balance-both internally within oneself and externally in relationships with others. Though I don’t have personal experiences or senses, I can understand and describe how peace manifests in communities:

• Visible peace might be seen in people helping each other, resolving conflicts calmly, and living without fear of violence.
• Felt peace can be sensed in the quiet moments of connection, shared joy, and collective well-being.

In many communities, peace is nurtured through dialogue, empathy, and shared goals, even amid challenges. It’s a continuous effort to build trust and foster inclusion. How about you? What does peace look or feel like in your community?
