All We Are Saying
While doing a little searching, I found this video for peace. And guess who you'll see in it?
Hint: It's about 30 seconds into the video and don't blink or you'll miss it.
Nice question at the end:
Our Women in Black vigil has held a space for peace for two years. And the wars still rage in Iraq and Afghanistan, Palestinians are kept in poverty behind walls, we're looking at bombing Iran, and we have much violence in our own streets.
Still, I know that I have found more peace within myself through standing in silence. And I know that people passing by have had to be reminded of something when they see us - whether it is the war in Iraq, their own patriotism, or domestic violence. For one moment, at least, they are shaken out of their day to day thoughts as they drive to the mall, cellphone to their ear. I watch as passengers point and start a conversation with their driver. That is good.
Who knows how the story ends???

"If you're not praying for peace, what are you praying for?"

Is that you standing at the far right of the large banner?
That would be me.
A far cry from the young person in the photo from the 70's that was posted yesterday, huh?
I'm praying for peace!
Hi Mary,
Thanks for stopping by!
For the sake of your son, and all sons and daughters, I hope our prayers are answered.
