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.)
Namaste
