May Peace Prevail on Earth

I am a life member of the United Nations Association of the US (UNA-USA).

I have carried the UN flag down the middle of Market Street in San Francisco-my birth city-during a parade.

And I have also written to Congress many times on the subject of human rights and justice--to use my taxes for good rather than for violence.

Today is the 60th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights by the UN.

Healing Wisdom 10 December

'It is tact that is golden, not silence.'

~ Samuel Butler

'Tact is the ability to make a person see lightning without letting him feel the bolt.'

~ Orlando A. Battista

Pray...

Why are seas not tranquil

and skies so turbulent

when is it that the lion stopped roaring

and there was misgiving that peace has

woken from its slumber. why is it we abrogate

it into realms of vapidity, and honour the violent

why is agression, belligerence so preferred

and love deferred?

The dove is soaring

and plumbing depths of eternity

while we weep for mortality

Shout peace to the world

bravo, throw all the… Continue

Who am I ?

What is it that a razor can’t cut, fire can’t burn, water can’t wet, nor can the wind dry?

The Soul

A precious point of conscious, blissful, light energy, the soul…

This is you

Imagine a tiny point located where thoughts come from.

That point thinks, remembers and decides.

This point is you.

The point where every emotion is born…

This is you.

A spiritual being interacting through the body…

thoughts on a napkin

War does not = peace

Ignorance does not = support of the country

slavery does not = liberty

Love... what is it? Is love giving money to 2 orphan boys in a foreign country who approached you while you were eating your lunch? Or is love bartering hard for their trinkets and getting the lowest possible price because you know that they HAVE to learn this skill well to survive in that place... and after you have made your buy, giving them your lunch because you see the hunger in… Continue

Lyrics to a Song - You, Me, Us, Them

If there are any musicians who would like to put music to this I would be grateful. I would like to sing the lyrics - I have a decent voice, but I don't know how we would coordinate - maybe you know.

You, me, us, them

by: Andy Skadberg

Let me see the dream behind your eyes.

What would happen if I left my family behind?

Has it all been a search for lies.

The worlds not what we think, we can't despise.

Let's believe, see, feel, dream the… Continue

Our World.

What our world comprises of and how do we make our life more contented.

What is our world made up of, who makes our world? People around us whom we care for and who love us or just everyone living around us. Let’s look into the matter and find out...

When we are born we look up to our parents for everything, all our needs and desires are fulfilled by them whether material or emotional so our parents mean the world to us, everything revolves around them and we know they will not… Continue

This is who the Poet I am:

The chevaliers, the night falling dim,

The vast open space, the golden sand,

The sharp sword with firesome gleam,

The bow whose arrows left my hand,

The papers as many as they seem,

My pen itself that would never dry or land,

The light of every heart, the very gentle beam,

The wise of his time, the coarse of the band,

My beloved lady above who’d esteem,

The place where we were to be and… Continue
