After the Brigden Fair and a Craft Show in Thedford, I have many hoodies and t-shirts left. I am currently looking for ways to spread the message of peace.
Would you like to help? You can contact me at george@sowingpeace.ca.
I am thinking about PEACE FEST.
This would be a series of festivals in various locations to promote peace. We would gather musical performers and other entertainers to achieve our purpose. Other artists could display their peace related art and vendors would be invited to sell peace related products.
To do this, I would need a lot of help with organization. I am an author and can do graphic design. I am a willing worker and can get things done. Were I need help is in organizing and promoting the events. I need people who are good at event planning, social media, musical talent, artists, entertainers, etc.
I would like to form a committee or club that could get together to keep things moving. I have no desire to lead, so leaders are needed.
If you feel you can fulfil any of these roles, or want to get involved, please email me or call 226-272-1363.
What causes war? I looked at the causes of the USA Civil war in the mid 1800's and offered a fictional alternative. Could history have been changed if one person had done something different? My imagination resulted in a story of love, passion, adventure, and danger. Read "The Alternative to War" and discover what you can imagine. "Imagine all the people living for today." (Lennon)
The Tribe Called Red is doing much to break down cultural barriers and promote peace. There music is entertaining and has a positive message.
Prayer For Healing
During this time in the history of the Earth we stand, more than ever before, in need of PRAYER. Whether it is a pandemic or war, we all need healing. We need to "Sow the SEEDS OF PEACE" as we pray for spiritual and physical healing.
A Short Healing Prayer
Thy name is my healing, O my God, and remembrance of Thee is my remedy. Nearness to Thee is my hope, and love for Thee is my companion. Thy mercy to me is my healing and my succor in both this world and the world to come. Thou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
-Bahá'u'lláh

IF
Starting with just one person committing to live in peace with himself, those around him and the complete population of the world, and then influencing one person per year who would do the same, we could have world peace by 2051. If we had started this 32 years ago, we would have world peace now. I started the Sowing Peace initiative in 2012 to attempt to do this, but I am not sure I have influenced even one person. If I had accomplished my objective we would be at year Seven, or 128 people now. It would be interesting to find out how many people in the world could commit to living in peace right now, then we can see where that number fits in the chart below. We would then have an estimate of how many more years it will take to have world peace if each one of us diligently manages to influence just one more person each year. It seems this is very difficult to do, but the results would be amazing, so why not give it a try.
One heart at a time.
2019 Year one: If I would commit myself to peace, and influence one other person to do so in a year, then we would be two.
