Blog Blast For Peace 2010

I am reposting this haiku as my contribution to Blog Blast For Peace 2010. I wrote it for International Peace Day in September and have added it to a Peace Globe background provided by the amazing Mimi of 'Mimi Writes'.

.

Mimi is the founder and host of 'Blog Blast for Peace', a movement designed to promote peace throughout the world. Please, please stop by her site and add your voice to the many who advocate an end to war and an embracing of equality for all!
.

On this hope-filled day we come together from all over the world to offer up a prayer that peace will prevail, and to make a promise to the children of the world that we will dedicate ourselves to attaining that end, no matter what it takes. They deserve no less from us.....

This is so wonderful, and universal, Lynette - and thanks for the boost for Mimi's site........I so love your peace globe, with the adorable loving children and your hands over the little boy's heart "that knows only the colour of love". You said it all so simply and beautifully. And perfectly.

That's a universal wish. There has to be another way.

I love this, love this, love this every time I see it, so I have to keep coming back to see it. In three lines you have captured the entire essence of the human condition. Beautiful and powerful image that touches hearts.

This is such a placid peace post -- not a lot of flash, just quietly meaningful substance. Thanks for the moment of reflection -- important on a day like this.

Both perfect photos and haikus for this day. They both move me every time I read them. So profoundly wise and true.

Lovely Peace Globe and Gentle Jade Buddha. Wishing you peace from Canada's other coast!

Children have done nothing to deserve to live in abject poverty other than to have the misfortune to be born into it. Your post reminds me that we need to do what we can for those less fortunate than ourselves, otherwise we simply allow such conditions to perpetuate.

Peace.
