Postcards from Scandinavia - Day 8

Day 8 - at Nobel peace center

Walking through the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, I was surrounded by stories of people who chose courage over comfort, and compassion over silence. The walls carried more than names—they carried hope.

Peace here didn’t feel like a lofty idea, but a lived choice. Ordinary people, doing extraordinary things, reminding us that even small acts ripple far beyond what we see.

I realized peace isn’t just an absence of conflict—it is a presence we must keep choosing, in words, in gestures, in how we meet one another.

It made me think of everyday life back home—how easily we raise our voices, or let impatience win. If peace begins anywhere, it must begin in those small, ordinary moments.

What does peace look like in your daily life—not on the world stage, but in your home, your words, your choices?
