Day 60 of the Season For Nonviolence: "Witnessing"

Greetings, family!

Today is Monday, March 30, DAY 60 of the Season For Nonviolence. The thought for today is WITNESSING.

“We are each other’s bond,” writes poet Gwendolyn Brooks. Those who practice nonviolence cannot close their eyes to injustice or cruelty. We are here to be a witness for justice and compassion. Those who practice nonviolence look at injustice or cruelty and know that it is possible for the situation to be different. You can stand up for truth by your presence, your words and your actions, and by doing so, make a difference.

Today: When I see injustice, I will say or take action to bring about a peaceful change. I will write down my thoughts about the action I took, and share this with another person.


BE STILL AND KNOW (Janis Kelly @ 1996)

Be still and know that I am with you
Be calm and listen for my voice
Have faith my love for you is stronger than the wind
And I will wash away your tears—
Oh! And I will wash away your tears

Be brave and let my spirit guide you
Be strong and claim your power and might
Take heart in knowing you’re surrounded by my light
And I will wash away your tears—
Oh! And I will wash away your tears

Be true to all you hope and dream of
Be glad within your heart and mind
Let your soul ring out with truth and freedom all your days
And I will wash away your tears—
Oh! And I will wash away your tears

I’ll wash away your tears! I'll wash away your tears! I'll wash away your tears!
I'll wash--away--your tears!

Peace, blessings & brilliance,

Janis
