Synopsis

A peace book created by a poet, a photographer and a journalist to explore the human potential for just and nonviolent conflict resolution --

The dead ask us to wake from our living death and look through the hole in our former reality. The path away from madness starts there. The path that led us here will not lead us away.
Alan Pogue

 

Prayer for the Children of the Earth

Let us all be children,
black eyes shining, blue eyes shining,
open wide to anyone, open to each other's
strangeness.

Let us be adults who live justice, make peace,
love each other, forgive the past.
Let us pitch the seeds of war to tar,
so they can't grow.

Let our children play on safe ground.
Let us repair ourselves and our governments.

Let us forgive each other.
Let us invent peaceful communities
for a living planet.

Let us all be children.

Let us shelter one another,
grieve together, cry like rain.

Let us heal the scar that came from
every horrible thing everyone has ever done.

Let us stop retaliating. Let us all be children.
Black eyes shining. Blue eyes shining.

Susan Bright
