Yes I used the same quote last year - but I don't care.  It's one of my favourites.

BlogBlast for Peace...Join the Cause

It's almost time kids. Of course I don't have to tell most of you that.

But, in case you've been under a rock for the last two years, or you're new to the blogosphere, this is what Blog Blast for Peace is all about:



BlogBlast For Peace Meme ~ Join The Revolution

Here are the rules and the story.

Copy this into a post and tag as many people as you'd like.

The Peace Globe project began in the fall of 2006 with a simple post from one blog. The post ignited a flame in the bloggosphere. The flame became a passion. The passion became a movement. It amazingly traveled from blog to blog to blog across the globe. Bloggers wrote passionate articles on what peace means to them, along with the promise of three Latin words scribbled on a globe - Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace) - branded with the integrity of their names or blog names. It was positively inspiring to watch. And it began to happen all over the world - from Singapore to China to Afghanistan to Brooklyn.

It was simple. And powerful.

We will speak with one voice. One subject. One day.

Won't you join us?

On 5 November 2009, DISPLAY YOUR GLOBE IN A POST. Title your post "Dona Nobis Pacem". This is important. The goal is for all blog post titles to say the same thing on the same day. Write about peace that day or simply fly your globe.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE TAGGED TO PLAY.

Please consider passing this meme through the bloggosphere.

This is Mimi Pencil Skirt reporting from the lovely land of the Peace Globes.

Memeing the Movement.

End quote from Mimi Writes...

So there you have it kids. I've been participating since the inception (I don't think I've missed one) and to go through the blogosphere and see the globes, from one end of this world to the other, is so heart warming, and gives a real sense of hope for the future of this planet. And for the future of mankind.

For a post that truly does this cause justice, pop on over to the Couch and have a seat. Vinny never fails to find the right words to truly bring it all together.

Dona Nobis Pacem

Only Starlight

How beautiful is this day,

when everything familiar has changed

A crash is only thunder,

a spray only rain

No need to take shelter,

there's no threat of pain

How beautiful is this evening,

when time is not on my mind

The cage has blown open,

the wires unwind

No need to take shelter,

no reason to cry

Chorus
Holding on to the moment,

when I can finally breathe

Fighting for this daydream,

when I wake up in peace

How beautiful is this night,

when nothing else pierces the sky

There's only starlight

and the moon

No need to take shelter,

there's nothing to fight

How perfect is this night,

when the only sound alive

The whisper of a lover,

a baby's sigh

No need to take shelter,

no reason to hide

Chorus
Holding on to the moment,

when I can finally breathe

Fighting for this daydream,

when I wake up in peace

How precious is this morning,

when the iron wall has gone

I'm finally breathing,

a quiet unknown

No need to take shelter,

I'm finally home

I'm finally home,

the nightmare is over

I'm finally home

Don't know why everything came out so blurry. I tried to fix it, but alas, was not able to. The quote says

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."
