along with the prayer of thank you, thank you, thank you, this prayer of saint francis, these intentions, are central to, are the organizing matrix of my life… on this day of beginning the 100 day countdown, well i didn’t quite make it as today is the 98th day, to the International Day of Peace on 9/21, this prayer picture needs sharing as does the theme…

every year on 21 September, the United Nations calls on all nations and people to put down their weapons and reaffirm their commitment to living in harmony with one another and creating a culture of peace… this year’s theme of “End Racism. Build Peace” reflects the need to promote dialogue and address root causes of inequality as racism poisons societies, normalizes discrimination and spurs violence…

let us come together over the next 98 days and beyond to safeguard the rights of all and create peaceful and inclusive environments… together we can manifest this vision, our destiny as a world free of racism…

as we come together to meet the many challenges facing us, our voice is more important than ever… in these turbulent times of shifting consciousness, this International Day of Peace is dedicated to fostering dialogue and collecting ideas on healing our planet and ourselves… we can always dream together…

let us celebrate “End Racism. Build Peace.” by spreading compassion, kindness and hope in the face of the pandemics of militarism, materialism, racism, environmental disruption and poverty by standing together in unity for the benefit of all beginning in this moment with this breath… yes, let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me and thee…
