It is my hope that in some small way this page can make a difference in the lives of people and can help lead to a more peaceful planet. I am primarily interested in small grassroots efforts related to creating peace. If you have a song, poem, website, or anything you would like to submit to me via e-mail I will be happy to receive it and will consider putting it on this site. Please put some reference to peace on the subject line. Your input is welcomed. H.H. the Dalai Lama said: "Many of our problems are created by ourselves Order your "United We Stand" t-shirt and 10% will be donated to the Chinook Fund - a Colorado foundation supporting local ppeace and justice issues. The following is a song from the Dances of Universal Peace: To Thy Cause We Give Our Strength That Love May Reign And War May Cease Mir, Miru, Mir Mir is a Russian word with several meanings: it means peace, it means earth and it is the name for a Russian satelite. What are the Dances of Universal Peace? Well the dances were originated by Murshid Samual L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti) in about 1964 and are growing steadily on an international basis. The largest dance circle in the US is in the Denver/Boulder, Colorado area currently. These dances show a commitment to "peace through the arts." The organization was founded in 1982 and Saadi Neil Douglas-Klotz is the Founding Director. The administrative office is now in Seattle and they have their own web site to go there Click Here. "Like the bee gathering honey from the different flowers, the wise person accepts the essence of the different scriptures and sees only the good in all religions."  Another organization/project worth mentioning here is called Heaven's Stepping Stones and it is an art project which was envisioned by an artist named Hada who is founder and president of the ART Foundation. The goal of this project involves the governments of the United States and Russia releasing the Diomedes (two islands straddling the International Date Line) into a zone beyond date, thereby returning it to its original state before the human invention of time. It would also require both governments to return the Diomedes to humanity as a whole not being owned by any nation, but by Mother Earth herself. To get more information you can send an e-mail request. Tell them you heard about it on Marsha's Peace website. Or you can write to Hada & Hadani at A.R.T. at PO Box 131, Crestone, CO 81131 Chinese proverb: If there is light in the soul, there is beauty in the person. If there is beauty in the person, there is harmony in the house. If there is harmony in the house, there is order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world. International Peace Prayer Day has been celebrated annually since 1985 by the 3HO (Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization) on sacred Native American land in the Jamez mountains of New Mexico. This year the date is June 17, 2000. If you would like your name added to the Peace Prayer Day mailing list call 1-888-346-2420. Visit the Peace Prayer Day website at http://www.peacecereal.com - they sell Peace Cereal which is excellent! Try the Cinnamon Apple Crisp with Ginseng and Fo-Ti - I recommend it. May today there be peace within. May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of love. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God/Goddess/The Creator. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, and to bask in the sun. It is there for each and every one of us.
