"This
is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good,
and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love."
“If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a
negative thought. They can be a powerful influence for good when
they're on the positive side, and they can and do make you physically
ill when they're on the negative side. I don't eat junk foods and I
don't think junk thoughts! Let me tell you, junk thoughts can destroy
you even more quickly than junk food. Junk thoughts are something to be
wary of.”
“Praying without ceasing is not ritualized, nor are there even words. It
is a constant state of awareness of oneness with God; it is a sincere
seeking for a good thing; and it is a concentration on the thing sought,
with faith that it is obtainable.”
“Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you.”
"No longer was I a seed buried under the ground, but I felt as a flower
reaching out effortlessly toward the sun. On that day I became a
wanderer relying upon the goodness of others. It would be a pilgrim's
journey undertaken in the traditional manner: on foot and on faith."
"Tremendous energy comes with anger. It's sometimes called the anger
energy. Do not suppress it: that would hurt you inside. Do not express
it: this would not only hurt you inside, it would cause ripples in your
surroundings.What you do is transform it."
“There is no greater block to world peace or inner peace than fear. What
we fear we tend to develop an unreasoning hatred for, so we come to
hate and fear. This not only injures us psychologically and aggravates
world tension, but through such negative concentration we tend to
attract the things we fear. If we fear nothing and radiate love, we can
expect good things to come. How much this world needs the message and
example of love and of faith!”
"That which is received from without can be compared with knowledge. It
leads to believing, which is seldom strong enough to motivate to action.
That which is confirmed from within after it is contacted from without,
or that which is directly perceived from within (which is my way) can
be compared with wisdom. It leads to a knowing, and action goes right
along with it."
"Do you know God? Do you know there is a power greater than
ourselves which manifests itself within us as well as everywhere else
in the universe? This I call God. Do you know what it is to
know God, to have God's constant guidance, a constant
awareness of God's presence? To know God is to reflect love
toward all people and all creations.To know God is to feel
peace within—a calmness, a serenity, an unshakeableness which
enables you to face any situation. To know God is to be so
filled with joy that it bubbles over and goes forth to bless
the world."
"When my folks put me to bed they would say to me very wisely, "It gets
dark so that it will be restful for you to sleep. Now go to sleep
in the nice friendly, restful darkness." And so to me darkness has
always seemed to be friendly and restful. And when I'm either
walking all night to keep warm or sleeping beside the road,
there I am, in the nice, friendly restful darkness."
"I had created sufficient age when I started out January 1, 1953, and I
said, "that's enough." From that time on I thought of myself as being
ageless and in radiant health, and I am. I haven't gotten younger, but I
see no point in getting younger. I can get along just fine as I am, and
if you have learned the lessons of the seasons of life before, you
really have no wish to return to a prior season of life."
"How good it is to work in the invigorating fresh air under the life-giving sun amid the inspiring beauty of nature."

Quotes from Peace Pilgrim
"A pilgrim is a wanderer with a purpose."
"A peace pilgrim accepts the way of love as the way of peace, and to depart from the way of love is to depart from the way of a peace pilgrim. (...) A peace pilgrim seeks not a multiplicity of material things, but a simplification of material well-being. (...) I walk until given shelter. I fast until given food. (p.125) (...) I simply rejoice to be able to follow the whisperings of a Higher Will. (...) I am sustained by the unending energy of the universe; this is who I really am! (...) My entire life has prepared me for this undertaking. This is my calling.This is my vocation.This is what I must be doing. I could not be happy doing anything else. (...) Although I have never asked for anything, God has provided me with everything along the way.Without ever asking for anything I’ve been supplied. I have faith that God will care for me, and God does provide my needs. I don’t in any way feel insecure because I don’t know where I will sleep at night, where or when I will eat next. (...) I feel beauty all around me and I see beauty in everyone I meet (...) For light I go directly to the Source of light, not to any of the reflections. (...) great blessings lie in store for those who are wise enough to quickly put into practice the highest light that comes to them. (pp. 127-128) (...) My appointed work is to awaken the divine nature that is within. This is my calling, to open doors of truth and make people think, to arouse others from their apathetic and lethargic state, and get them to seek out for themselves the inner peace which dwells within. (p. 128) (...) A pilgrim’s job of rousing people from their apathy and making them think may sometimes seem to come into conflict with a loving attitude toward people (p.146) (...) I make it possible for more light to come to me by living up to the highest light I have."
"Never think of any right effort as being fruitless - all right effort bears good fruit, whether we see results or not."
"If we fear nothing and radiate love, we can expect good things to come."
"I am not burdened by unnecessary possessions or meaningless activities. My life is full and good, but not overcrowded (...) I feel beauty all around me and I see beauty in everyone I meet "
In Light, Life and Love, another Peace Pilgrim :)

My Comedy Performances Reviews
Agnieszka has developed a distinctive voice
where she speaks to each member of her audience as though she was speaking to a
trusted friend, sharing details of her life and intimate secrets. She tells
these secrets with wit, humour and insight. Laughing at her difficulties we
laugh at ourselves . . . and at the world. Like all good humour there is also a
profundity – as we learn more about Agnieszka we understand more about
ourselves.

Agnieszka Niemira's comedy
is clever, witty, unexpected, with a feminist edge to it. Comedy for
the thinking people.
