How beautiful is the human voice!

We were made by our Creator to manifest peace and beauty, and to live in joy and love.  The passion and message of this song is poignantly apt this Lenten Season. And tomorrow we begin Passover, as usual. How joyful a celebration is our recognition of our Creator!

Knowing the origins of this song, as I am sure you do, too, is it not especially fitting during these years of the New Reformation?  We are witnessing again Divine Intervention, as more slavers come to Grace and give up practicing slavery against other humans.  Help them along: share this with all the public servants you know.

Share it and send along an appropriate and loving message:

“It is time for you to leave the employ of  government by force, and find honest work among your sisters and brothers. Regain your nobility.  Live in and by peace.  You are a good person, and you deserve better.”

Enjoy this magnificent performance.  Share it with your friends.  Share it with those who will be lifted up by its message and beauty.

Peace and Light to everyone.

We are not fools.

“It should be obvious by now to everyone that governments are not initiating enough force against peaceful individuals, or else all the human-caused problems on this Earth would be solved.” — A politician

Now, that was foolish, right?

As I was blessing my squash, cucumber, basil, cilantro, and rosemary seedlings this evening, and welcoming them, on behalf of their parents, to this existence, I also thanked them for their wisdom.  I have never been attacked by a plant.

Yes, I’ve had poison ivy, one bad (tiny Aminita) mushroom, which sent me reeling and unable to walk for a bit, but no initiation of force against my life, at least so far.  And even the poison ivy is a reminder of the biting snakes which often hide under its leaves.

All of nature is rough and tumble.  Fang and tooth.  But I love the peaceful wisdom of a seed.  A seed knows what to do, given the least bit of encouragement, of sensed hope, and of care. It becomes what it is bred to be.  I think you get to see who people are when they have the least bit of encouragement, of sensed hope, and of caring.

Love.  That is all a seed needs. I think it is what the world needs, too.  And has for some time, because we all keep talking about it for centuries and eons.  We humans.

But this time, I think we can teach fast enough, far enough—we team players for peace—to effect the change.  I really do.

Don’t you wonder if we could do it?

Wouldn’t you like to be part of trying?

If this is a game, which it is, actually, then I think this is the Peace On Earth Team, don’t you?

Hey, poets, let’s keep making all these wonderful moves!  We are planting new seeds, and they are sprouting.  How delightful, how shiny, is that?

Isn’t the internet wonderfully fertile ground?  Iamsmiling.

ps…there are a gazillion other challenges for having adventures after we give up warfare: space colonization would be a nice adventure, I think, don’t you?

If you have not enjoyed this yet, it is time.

A poet speaks of peace.  And war.  And women.
