War Made Easy

I watched the documentary 'War Made Easy' today. It takes a look back at the rhetoric and media coverage of war in america. is eerie seeing clips just from a few years ago and the lead up to the Iraq war.

Merton on Resistance

Very often people object that nonviolence seems to imply passive acceptance of injustice and evil and therefore that it is a kind of cooperation with evil. Not at all. The genuine concept of nonviolence implies not only active and effective resistance to evil but in fact a more effective resistance... But the resistance which is taught in the Gospel is aimed not at the evil-doer but at evil in its source.

Say It's Possible. Messages of Reconciliation and Healing

A time to come together ... for post election healing.

Please check out this amazing site. A New Day IS here. Believe it! WE CAN be the change we wish to see.



A sample of the dialogue of reconciliation from the "52 to 48 with love" website

Seeing all the beautiful messages between the 52 and 48 reminded me of this video - Say It's Possible.





People from around the world to film themselves answering the question "what would you do/want if anything were possible?" in three words or less.

Peace Dove Chases Nemo?!?

It has been a while since we have had an update on the push pin wall. After a dry spell, I posted an Artists Wanted in July. Then this fall I was presented with some very cool fish push pins. I had fun sprinkling them throughout the push pin display.

BUT, then the other day I took a look -- and some mischievous rascal has been re-arranging the fish. Now my Peace Dove is swooping down to eat poor Nemo?!?

Origin of Peace Symbol



Ever wonder about the origin of the Peace symbol? Let me share what I know...

The symbol was created by Gerald Holtom, a conscientious objector during World War II. It was created as the Nuclear Disarmament logo for the first Aldermaston March by the Direct Action Committee against Nuclear War in Easter of 1958. The design was a combination of letters of the flag semaphore alphabet for "D" and "N", standing for nuclear disarmament. Over time it became a general symbol for peace.

Happy Birthday Peace



It’s been 50 years since Gerald Holtom – a British textiles designer – created a global phenomenon: the peace symbol. Simple. Unique. Elegant. Powerful.

Groovy New Shoes

I gotta say I am feelin' pretty funky in my new shoes. I figured they would be a fun way of shining a little sunshine and bringing a smile to everyone's day.

I knew my groovy shoes were working when my heads down, serious, work work work colleague R- broke out laughing hysterically when she saw my colourful mis-matched shoes. I think our super intense, ultra serious, work environment needs more funky mis-matched shoes!
