No one is born hating another person; people can and do change every day. Peace between differing ideologies and cultures, though not impossible to achieve, may be challenging to attain. However, peace on a “person-to-person” basis is possible between any two willing individuals, regardless of their backgrounds. It is this process of engendering person-to-person peace to which Liquid Mind XII: Peace is dedicated.

Even the smallest step taken by one individual as a peacemaker can build a bridge of hope, encouragement and understanding which will grow and spread. The titles of the compositions on this album are steps we can each take towards conflict resolution:

We begin by acknowledging that At the Center Is Love. Where there is a capacity for love, which all humans share, there can be peace. The peace process begins with respectful Communication between two people, Person to Person, which leads to a discovery of their Shared Values. These shared values create a willingness to Surrender to Love, and we are able to move forward together as a measure of Trust develops.

As trust grows, we become aware of our Oneness, and the Spirit of Peace prevails.
