today is a special day of re-membering and entering the deep silence of the inner ground…

as i till this organic field of consciousness, i am transported to that friday fifty-eight years ago when we heard  JFK had been assassinated, where i wander through the field and float in the waters under the bridge also re-membering the journey of grace three years ago on this day as i member this day, this moment of cross-pollination of re-membrance and presence in the present moment…

may we take this moment, this beautiful moment, to salute all poetic peace pilgrims with JFK’s invocation of peace…   this quotation comes from his greatest speech ever, a commencement address given at American University some four and a half months before he was gunned down in Dallas… these words live on eternally as a clarion call for a peace for all time…

may we all awaken to the wisdom of this radical (rooted) vision of peace…

“Oh Great Spirit who dwells in the sky,
lead us to the path of peace and understanding,
let all of us live together as brothers and sisters.
Our lives are so short here, walking upon Mother Earth’s surface,
let our eyes be opened to all the blessings you have given us.
Please hear our prayers, Oh Great Spirit.”

~Native American Prayer~

“PEACE IS A DAILY, A WEEKLY, A MONTHLY PROCESS, GRADUALLY CHANGING OPINIONS, SLOWLY ERODING OLD BARRIERS, QUIETLY BUILDING NEW STRUCTURES. AND HOWEVER UNDRAMATIC THE PURSUIT OF PEACE, THAT PURSUIT MUST GO ON.”

~JFK~

in this creation moment of eternity bathed in the waters of gaia’s womb, may we wage peace…
