‘Surely peace is more than “peace-and-quiet”.’

Tuesday is for world peace:  John Myhill has an inspiring encounter

‘Surely peace is more than “peace-and-quiet”.’

by John Myhill 12th June 2026

He looked old and wise, and I could not resist the smile he gave me. So I sat next to him and he talked. The conversation was all about beauty, wonder and laughter. Then he said, ‘You should read this book: Tuesday Is For World Peace.’ With that I seemed to wake from sleep. A sleep that had lasted the whole of my life.
