At the Freie Universität

Each student occupies a unique macrocosm of their own.

But every microcosm could be threatened by a seismic eruption of stress.

At 8:00 am

In the Habelschwerder Alle

On the ceremonious red carpet of Rostlaube,

The footsteps of students begin to compose a symphony

of sincerity and tranquility.

of humor and camaraderie.

However, this beautiful symphony sometimes wanes

When a shadow of panic pushes peace away

The harrowing bells of stress

sprout tenaciously like tornadoes

out of a student’s cortex.

The shadow of anxiety begins to compress.

These deep waves of shallow breath could intimidate the Mariana trench

Heart pumping fast, and the blood vessels clench.

But you must not fret, my fellow student. I have a friend who can cheer your

sorrow and make you laugh.

Her name is Peace

And this is her story.

In the beginning of time

Faith & Discipline had a child.

Her name is Peace.

She will go on to do amazing things.

She will go on to heal the world.

With a brush of hope, she will paint a beautiful mural.

Dear Peace,

On behalf of humanity, sincerely, I would like to issue an apology.

I apologize for us letting war and conflict break your heart.

The gracious lips of love performed CPR on Peace.

Peace was rejuvenated.

Peace is Alive.

Peace gets expanded when we don’t take our humanity for granted.

New hope is planted.

Dear brothers and sisters,

May we imagine peace.

May we realize peace.

May we be aware of peace.May we seek peace.

May we find peace.

May we trust peace.

May we love peace.

May we stay with peace.

May we be nurtured by peace.

May we become peace.

Maybe we are the children of Peace.

Peace
