also known as Dona Nobis Pacem in the Blogosphere
although most of you could be loudly seen and heard on social media
I'm still gathering from the blog sky.
It's a labor of love and an unending task
We began in 2006
many blog moons ago
and have continued each year until we....
knew that words really are powerful
met friends and peace lovers from every continent
and 214 countries and territories...
entered the land of Facebook and Twitter
becoming one blog and one voice for one day....
We talked about people fighting people
countries fighting countries..
Climate change...and changing our personal climates
and how intricately we are connected....
Inner peace
and outer chaos
Voting rights, elections, politics, economic shifts....
shifting and sinking democracies...
religion
polluting the oceans and how to save the bees
and Love
we talked a lot about Love
Spiritual remedies
practical remedies
unorthodox remedies
We took a 30 Day LOVE challenge
Documented 60 Ways to Peace
Through earthquakes and tsunamis
Hurricanes and hailstorms
We discussed nuclear war and hissed like true activists
while flying blue globes across the night sky
and even though we leaned to the left and to the right
We're still speaking to each other (mostly...)
Wars came along...
Afghanistan, Africa, Israel, Syria, Darfur, Iraq, Libya, Boko Haram, Yemen, the Middle East
Conflicts arose
around and around the world
We wrote
and wrote
and wrote
from everywhere we wrote!
Voted
and roared
sang a perfect song
spoke a perfect word
then during the next year of challenges on earth
we did it all over again
I wish we could throw magic dust
across the face of the world
and make it all go away...
Pick up the pen instead of the sword
Because our children and our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren
deserve a world still standing in one peace
instead of in pieces
