Peace on Earth

Do not think I’ll see it in my lifetime, but it is my firm belief that unless we collectively lose our apathy, which I feel is the worst disease on our planet, and become one people - one race, one planet - we’ve got bigger problems than they ever had in River City.

It’ll have to be up to people like Sabina, Courtney and Dawn (you know who you are, Princess, Peer Mediator and Twinkle-toes) and their peer group to try and straighten out the mess we’ve made so far.  We talk about Peace on Earth, and then we allow our world leaders to enjoin us in wars.

Shortly after carving the original wax for the Peace Star in my Jewish Heirlooms collection, I wrote:

As children of G-d there is no dogmatic trace
We try to see the light of G-d in every face
in Mosques, Cathedrals and synagogues
Wherever we may lift our cry to G-d

We join the wise ones following a star
To find a Christ, messiah or Avatar
In Buddha’s shine, we feel a stir within
We bend a knee when chanting with a Muezzin

We seek to understand what Moses taught
And honor what the Hindu sages brought
The mysteries of the pyramids inspire
We honor Zoroaster and his fire

We respect what wise Confucius had to say
And will seek the wisdom found the Tao way
Wherever eyes and hands are raised in prayer
In whichever shrine, a living G-d is there

So whatever the chosen path may be
All children shall show it dignity
All true spirituality seeks only to ascend
All paths to G-d must somewhere blend. . .
