Once a Hippie…

I think that in the 60s we were Idealistic and filled with optimism. I know I completely believed in Peace, Love and Rock & Roll. (Still do.)

I know that the world is coming close to the same place we were in back in the 60s — the Edge of Destruction — and it’s important for those of us who are old enough to remember the lyrics or poems and the music that helped us make changes in the world, to remind people of the changes that are needed today.

We need today’s young people to do what we did:

To Speak Out, and March Out and Peace Out.

If you believe in something, if you believe something needs to be changed, Speak. March. Help people. Write about it. Be heard, be seen, make the world the world you feel in your heart.

Together, perhaps we can, once again, pull back from the Edge of Destruction.

Namaste,

Barbara

Eve of Destruction

BJWordPressDivider

I look around the world and what do I see? I see unrest and I see intolerance. I see people who want to kill other human beings for looking different or believing in a different God. I see people praying and they are being killed. I see our children living in terror because there is no where safe here on Mother Earth. I hear lots of yelling and screaming and I don’t see much peacemaking. I believe we are on the Eve of Destruction again. While we have managed to sneak out of the reality of destruction so far, that was dumb luck. We may not be so lucky the next time. Walk away. Save this world for our children and grandchildren.

There is much we have to lose. Think about it. We may lose the beauty of the world. We are in control here. We can change all of this and keep this beautiful world without war. It will just take our belief in and actions for promoting peace everywhere in the world. Let’s talk about it. Write me and tell me what you think. Namaste.

The simplicity of a sunrise.
