21 Sept Peace Day

Dear Colleague,



For a number of years now, the UN has set 21 Sept as Peace Day.

This 21 Sept the UN has set disarmament as the theme of the day. Also during Sept. the US President will chair a session of the UN Security Council devoted to disarmament which should attract some attention to the subject. Thus, I am sending my recent… Continue

Its not very comfortable in there is it?” said the stony faced official, cigarette smoke forming a haze around his gleaming oval head.



“Its OK. We’re fine” I replied wearily, delirious after being awake for a straight period of 30 hours.

“You could be in there for days you know. For weeks. Indefinitely. “So, tell me, you are taking a plane tomorrow morning to the US?”

At the time my head was such a mess,there was my Father,the ROCK of my life,leaving this world yet still giving me his wisdom and advice.For years after I wrote song after song after… Continue

Peace between people and between people and the earth



In 1985 Northern Ireland was in the grip of our violent conflict, tearing apart our society in sectarian division. A small group of people volunteered their time and dedicated part of their lives to developing the idea of having a residential centre which was based on a holistic approach to non-violence. This idea was originally created by the "Peace People" from Belfast who wanted to create a centre to which they could bring groups of all ages… Continue

Instant Peace

Instant Peace



Many of us are like a walking windmill.

A tempest in the teacup of factitious beliefs,

know-it-all-behaviour and greedy attitudes,

standing on our own precious ego-pedestal.



Yet deep within we all are born as a calm lighthouse

and if we just radiated our innate state of true BEing,

others would sense our essence, i.e. the original and

eternal state of us being humble, peaceful and loving.



Yet we misuse… Continue
