I know everyone here is contributing in their own way to the Peace of the planet. I believe it is increasing exponentially, and we are well on our way to seeing Peace Prevail on Earth. But it has to start with each individual experiencing and being Peace, and then living it and encouraging all.

I wish you a Spirited week and many peace*full encounters.

Jean,
Love

We who have cans at the end
can erupt in rendition of an anthem,
to heal our planet
by saving the delicate net
that connects our continents
So we Africans
can join minds with Latin Americans
and share fellowship with Asians
Jamaicans
Puto-Ricans
Dominicans
Coastaricans
�and even Ithacans
who care and are concerned.
They say we do count
when it matters most
but when April arrives, the tax-people
expect our returns
yet they say we not count.
When ballot boxes swallow
our cards and return zeros in our stead
They say we do not count
but mothers of Warriors count
the numbers of days dear ones
are away from home
They say we do not count?
We count the needless journeys
to DC only to return deceived
with platitudes received from
sugar-coated agents of state
Do they say we do not count?
we who are numbers at boarder posts
we never slumber but slip in
a thought or two for their Daily Post
They can't say we do not count
because we count days of hunger
we are still counting those dazed by Katrina.
We won't stop counting body bags
arriving by night,
and nights arriving by noon in homes
where breadwinners are now weaned off bottles like babies.
They say we do not COUNT?

When it comes to peace, how would you describe yourself?: I feel the pain in the world

What do you believe are the 'burning issues' today?: War, Hunger, Poverty, Education, Our Planet, Violence, Inflation, Human Rights, Our Shrinking Freedom

More about me: I'm a middle-aged mom living in Wisconsin. I have a BA in philosophy from Luther College in Decorah, IA. I also have done graduate work in social work. I was at the "arms bazaar" at O'Hare Expo Center in 1979. I helped hold a sign that said "Feed the People, Not the Pentagon"
