Day 47 of the Season For Nonviolence: "Disarmament"

Greetings, family!

Today is Tuesday, March 17, DAY 47 of the Season For Nonviolence (happy St. Patrick's Day as well!). The thought for today is DISARMAMENT.

What if we lived in a world where there were no weapons? What if we used the resources for developing weapons for other projects? What if we really did beat swords into plowshares? Imagine such a world for yourself and your family, because until we believe it is possible, it cannot become a reality. Peace and nonviolence, does--and must--begin with each and every one of us.

Today: I will have a conversation with someone today about what the world would be like if there were no weapons, nor any need for them. I will define new uses for the resources freed-up by not developing weapons.

“The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.”
-Joan Baez (1941 - )

LET IT ALL GO (Janis Kelly @ 2009)

Let it all go, let it all go, let it all go;
Let it all go, let it all go, let it all go;
Let it all go, let it all go, let it go--
Oh, let it go!
(repeat)

I'm letting go, gonna leave this world behind;
'Cause the one that I've created for myself;
Is feeling cruel instead of kind;
I'll start again, with a soul that's been renewed;
A heart that's filled with joy and happiness;
A spirit brave and kind and true.

It's time to:
Change my thoughts of fear and lack into those of hope and glory;
Change my version of the past to a more expansive story;
Change my vision for myself into one that has me win;
A me that's filled with confidence so I can live and love again;
And so I tell myself again, this time I really can--

Let it all go, let it all go, let it all go;
Let it all go, let it all go, let it all go;
Let it all go, let it all go, let it go--
Oh, let it go!
(repeat)

I'm letting:
Go of limitation, letting go of playing small;
Letting go of worry that I may stumble, fail or fall;
Letting go of judgement, toward myself and others too;
Letting go of anything that hides my light from you;
There's nothing left for me to do, but to start my life anew--

And let it all go, let it all go, let it all go;
Let it all go, let it all go, let it all go;
Let it all go, let it all go, let it go--
Oh, let it go!
(repeat)

This is me, letting go!
This is me, letting go!
This is me, letting go!
Oh, I'm letting go!

Peace, blessings & brilliance,
