Oh Phyllis, this turned out so wonderfully! What a glorious dive and this helps bring it all together. So o ften I forget bits of gatherings, but this distills it and forms a community of us for Waging Peace. It feels like it will go forward. Judyth and her poem were the perfect fulcrum. I'll admit that I cried a little as I read the combined poem you crafted. You did a great job! Thank you so much. More and more I feel that I am part of a community here on this earth and on this raft!

All I can say is a big wow! Thank you for compiling words from the creative minds of so many—words I will definitely read, reread, and reread. and breathe in and out again and again. And again and again. ❤️🙏❤️

Wow. This was such a wonderful, powerful way to wrap up the month of Waging Peace. I agree that it feels like strong community and common ground and it can go on. I got a bit teared up as I read this group effort, planted with love by Judyth and cultivated with such care by Phyllis. Just wow.

So beautiful to read this lovely act of community! My favorite section was "remember your tools." I am particularly fond of "the awesome wonder of clouds," and " the dinosaur yoga mat where we teach our children to be in their bodies, in their joy..."

Breathe in the terror and confusion of those in war torn areas.

Breath out loving, kind and peaceful thoughts.

Remember your tools: Kindness, hope, determination and belief
