BlogBlast For Peace: November, 2008
Today I wish for peace.
Not just an absence of violence or conflict
(Even though I want that, too)
But my bigger wish is that we/you/I may all know our true Self,
The Self underneath our name, our title, our talent, our mood, our beliefs
Down to who we were before we were born
Before the ideas that float around us stuck to us
like a dust storm on a newly-washed car.
Ideas of who we are,
right and wrong,
who is lovable and who isn't,
what we should look like and what we should do.
If we take a small glimpse of what there is under
all of those thoughts that are, really, only thoughts,
I think - no, I KNOW - we will experience
the beauty of our unity
and true Peace.
The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.

I'm so glad Mimi started this peace movement in the blogosphere and even happier to be a part. I'd be much obliged if you would visit Sojourner's Place on this BlogBlast for Peace Day! Let us all pray for peace because War is NOT a card game!
"Today I wish for peace.
Not just an absence of violence or conflict"
Exactly! I love your post,especially since you're echoing my thoughts pretty much spot on too.
Best Peace blessings to you. :-)
Thanks Michelle,

I think things might get a lot less histile in this country pretty quickly. According to MSNBC, Obama's first order of the presidency is to revoke over 200 of Bush's executive orders.
I hope he does it, Indigo.
I wonder if he feels like he just inherited an old house that needs an immediate total makeover.
Hi Carol - your peace globe is simple and powerful. And the quote from Black Elk is really amazing. Your own post was like a poem, and I especially love these lines:
'Down to who we were before we were born
Before the ideas that float around us stuck to us
like a dust storm on a newly-washed car'
Would it be alright if I posted your peace globe on my blog this week for Thursday Thirteen?
Hi Julia!
Thank you.
Yes, you can post it. I don't know what Thursday Thirteen is but now I get to find out! ;-)
I'll be over to your place to check it out now and on Thursday.
Thanks for stopping by!
