DONA NOBIS PACEM - FINDING PEACE IN OVERWHELMING TIMES


POSTCARD FROM THE EDGE OF HOPE


I'm standing on the rim of the world,
at the far edge of far, 
next stop Japan.

I am thinking of you.

The news is bad.
It is very bad.

But the view is beautiful
from here.

I send you
a small postcard
of hope.

Believe in the essential goodness
of humankind.

Believe in Mother Earth
who, like us,
wants to live.

I stand on the edge
of the edge of the world.
I send you this
small postcard
of hope.

For the  12th  annual world-wide Blogblast for Peace, led by  by Mimi Lenox every November 4th. This year's theme is Finding Peace in Overwhelming Times. I am heartened by all the good things that are happening, in the midst of all the bad news: humans helping other humans, without hesitation,  during the many tragic events we have lived through these past months. Also by such organizations as the Tree  Sisters, a global movement of women determined to plant one billion trees this year to help Mother Earth heal and catch her breath. 

In the photo above is my great-granddaughter, Lunabella, child of tomorrow, a rainbow child whose future, along with your children's, grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's, we need to be thinking of and working for right now.

Namaste.  Let us all do what we can, where we are. Love and light.
