evolving from antiwar to propeacebuilding a culture of peace
welcomeMember of Humanity; Citizen of EarthI'm a contributing editor, not a managing editor on this site - although my opinion has been sought from time to time when changes are contemplated or on the even more rare occasions when something offensive is going on and the intervention option is being considered. (I think there have been only two.) I write when I can, when I've participated in something I want to share with this community, or when something I read here resonates in one way or another with something I cherish. I enjoy the time I spend here, and I have connected in a deep way with a handful of cyber-friends. I hope you are inspired to contribute by what you find here.

He Had a DreamThis is just a friendly reminder that Monday is MLK day. Find a parade in your area and participate by walking in solidarity, or at least showing up, to honor his dream and his life. It's okay if you don't have anything fancy already planned; last year, I marched alone armed with only a camera to "shoot" the spectators. I get discouraged when I see all those JROTC units marching to promote militarization. In my opinion, this is contrary to what MLK's life and dream was about. Let's make sure that peace has "equal time."

I have a dream
I dream of a world where it is illegal to make war, but instead the opposers must face each other until an accord is reach. A worlds where all world resourses are earmarked only for peaceful uses and for all people.
I dream of no "work" for anyone, but time for creative and personal pursuits which add to the betterment of all.
I dream of our worlds population "waking up" and realizing they are whole, blessed and no longer need dominance or control.
I listen to Dr. King's words... as he spoke them, with that dynamic energy of his soul, and find such a rush of pride within me, hope and a burst of energy to do something. We were truely blessed by his presence and his guidance, motivation and love for humanity, of all color and curcumstance!
Thank you, Susan for this reminder!
