Good Lord This Thread Just keeps Going and going and going..................Peace
|
To Souldancer, the inspiration, love, and the continuation of this thread,
I say thank you. May you post your wisdom and compassion for a long time to come. |
Let's all keep our passion for peace strong and flowing here. Thank you to all of you that keep this feeling alive in this thread.
So, in preparation for Thanksgiving, how about posting names of those, living and passed on, whose deeds, words and lives are/were testimonials to peace. Famous or not yet famous....could be your neighbor, your grandma, a great prophet, philosopher, etc....no rules, other than what your heart tells you. One at a time, a list, whatever you want. We have days to go...If you have suggestions to add to this idea, please include that in your post too! Peace and thanksgiving to..... Robert Marrone St. Francis Albert Schweitzer Jesus Gammie Dalai Lama |
I would like to add these spiritual people to your list.
Mohandas Gandi Dr. Martin Luther King My friend E. |
Peace and thanksgiving to some inspiring women...
Mother Theresa Joan Baez Clarice Luther (aka neighborhood "Flower Lady") Jane Goodall Margaret Mead Maya Angelou The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border? Pablo Casals |
(oops....how do I delete a post now?)

Just hit the edit link under your avatar, SD, and you will see an option for deleting your post...
I like this idea of citing people who bring/brought peace through their deeds... I know someone already said Gandhi, but I'm posting it anyway :D Elayne (just by starting this thread, not to mention her other good deeds) Megan (my friend from college) |

That's not way too funny! Anyway....Peace! |
I came across this today and it sums up my philosophy quite nicely:
"If we just worry about the big picture, we are powerless. So my secret is to start right away doing whatever little work I can do. I try to give joy to one person in the morning, and remove the suffering of one person in the afternoon. If you and your friends do not despise the small work, a million people will remove a lot of suffering. That is the secret. Start right now." Sister Chän Khöng |
Love that! And you are living it dogstar.
I apppreciate that practicality and hopefulness. At times, the larger vision of World Peace and Global Unity is just overwhelming and seems impossible... but, I can make choices in how I interact with my neighbors, students, fellow freeway drivers, cashiers.....and even my in-laws. Thank you for that reminder! |
You're welcome, SD...I like to do my best to do what I can in my little corner of the world because you never know how far it can spread :).

That's great, Dogstar. It's the philosophy I try and live by too. I'd rather walk through my day being as positive as possible and pass that along to others. I agree with souldancer, you are doing exactly that. :) |
Awww, thanks...I try :).
|
Dogstar, I love the quote that you posted. I really think that the world would be a better place if each of us would follow those teachings.
I think that you have shown on this board, that you live your life with kindness toward others. I would also like to add one more person to the list. My friend Liz. |
On this day before Thanksgiving, I would like to add some people in my life who have inspired me and I feel grateful to have had in my life -
My grandmother (my father's mom) My Uncle Jud Diane, one of my best friends |
