BLOGBLAST FOR PEACE, 2012

Today, November 4, is the annual Blogblast for Peace, begun in 2006  by Mimi Lenox at  Mimi Writes . This year  152 countries (so far) are  taking part. This peace movement has grown exponentially, from year to year, demonstrating that people all over the world are united in longing for peace. May it come in our lifetime, so our children and grandchildren can live their lives in a more peaceful world. 

Please visit Blogblast for Peace, (we're on Facebook, too), to see all of the beautiful peace globes from around the world, with their wishes for peace on this turbulent planet. Join us!! We need your voice!

Prayer for Morning (Mourning?)

What Our Hearts Want:

for the global consciousness

to rise across the face

of this beautiful and

perilous planet.

Everyone: Rise Up

and say

We want

the War Machine

to stop

and

the Peace Machine

to begin

Rise up, rise up

strong-hearted women

and gentle-hearted men

Replace the monetary

bottom line

with the sustainable-living

bottom line

Instead of billion dollar

killing machines

build billion-dollar

feeding machines

to feed instead of bomb

the world's poor

Given the status quo

it's tempting to think

it is impossible

but it is Possible

It only takes

a billion wills

to make it so

(And, obviously, global warming has to be addressed urgently - just think: switching to clean and "free" energy, aside from providing work for hundreds of thousands of people everywhere,  will also soothe and settle  Mother Nature's angst. Please let our leaders hear YOUR voice about these critically important issues.)
