What's Your Vision?
(These are the responses written on the flipcharts by participants before going into, or after coming out of the meditation room at the March 2002 24-Hour World Healing Peace Circle in Ann Arbor)
[flipchart sheet 1 of 2]
That we all -- all of humanity -- can learn to love each other and find understanding and mutual respect in our diversity. That we stop being afraid of each other and of ourselves. That we can speak our truth and inspire others and ourselves in a compassionate way. We have and will always need each other. When people realize that hatred of others is really self-hatred. After all, you can't hate something about another person, unless it is something you hate in yourself. Visualize hugging someone you resent and watch the healing begin! May the long time sun shine upon you -- All Love surround you -- And the pure light within you guide your way on -- guide your way on -- guide your way on -- Love Out [smiley heart face] FORGIVE: oneself & others When I judge another person it is an act of self-protection: I project an illusion of separateness -- that other psson is NOT me -- & that aspect or behavior is NOT mine -- So that I can pretend that it's not all about me. Self-acceptance is a path to peace. I am willing. May Peace prevail on earth! Everyone embracing their own power to heal themselves and others and taking time to show their love.

Citizens of every nation choosing representatives in a proportional manner, so all are fairly represented, based on good information from diverse sources (i.e., not current U.S. media) Each person having the ability to give and receive love and share in laughter. A world where no one is hungry. A world where people have learned to live in harmony/cooperation/ and helpfulness. A world where people love to sing and dance and enjoy. A world where war is obsolete and the very idea is shocking. Overwhelming numbers of non-violent observers, demonstrators, and pray-ers show up from around the world in Iraq, Israel/Palestine, Washington D.C., the United Nations, and anywhere else needed to make it impossible for anyone to wage war. listening Huge Oaks Grow From Little Acorns: Peace, loving-kindness & compassion to families, friends & co-workers.
