The Highest Good

Every day, I join others in this prayer for World Peace.

With each kind thought and each choice for nonviolence,

we plant a seed that shall bloom to bring forth rich fruit in its Season.

Together, friend, we till the soil and plant the seeds that all creation may

sing for joy and dance in the Garden of Peace.

May our prayers and practices during this Season be but the beginning

of a new culture of peace, security and joy that shall endure unto our

children’s children’s children.

And with that heart-felt prayer, the 2009 Gandhi - King - Chavez Season for Peace and Nonviolence (SPAN) has officially concluded today, the memorial anniversary of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This year's SPAN saw the largest number of participants I have ever had join me on this 64-day journey. The readings were brought to you courtesy of the Association for Global New Thought. They were authored by Mr. Len Ellis with some additions and revisions by me..

Thank you to all who participated. It is my sincerest hope that this exercise has prompted you to take a look at the way you live and at how the way you live affects those around you in your family, your workplace, and your community.

Though the 2009 SPAN has concluded, the work to achieve Peace never truly ends. It keeps on flowing ever onward. May you continue the process of creating change in yourself in order to bring about a nonviolent, Peaceful, and sustainable world for all. Today, in your thoughts, words, and actions, Be Peace.

Martin, Mohandas, and Cesar, may Eternal Light shine upon you and Blessed Peace always be yours. We are grateful for your dedication and commitment to the cause of Peace and Justice. May we display the same courage and  passion. So let it Be.
