With choirs of children calling for peace on Earth, asking that we walk “in perfect harmony” … one might be tempted to think, “How naïve. Perfect harmony? Impossible.”

But harmony isn’t about sameness. It’s not about conformity and being of a single mind.

Harmony is about ideas that work together. Different ideas that work together. Notes that coexist … resulting in beauty.

It’s not through uniformity. On the contrary: harmony is togetherness with difference.

Peace like that might feel like a longshot, but it’s possible. In small ways, we see it every day.
