Who among us have not dreamed of a world of peace? It has been a dream of mine since childhood and the days of the Cold War and bomb shelters. Since the days of Howdy Doody or Captain Kangaroo being interrupted to test the signal for the Emergency Broadcast System. Flash forward 55 years and we not only still have to fear the threat of someone pushing the panic button that could destroy all of us, but we also find ourselves living in fear of another terrorist attack on our own soil. Gone are the days of not locking the doors of our homes. The doors of our house was never locked. In fact, I don't know that we ever had a key to the doors or if there was even a lock on them. I find it sad that our children and grandchildren will inherit a world in worse shape than the world we grew up in.
"World peace can be achieved, revealed, offered and manifested on earth when in each person the power of love replaces the love of power."

"This is the way of peace:Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love."
~ Peace Pilgrim
May we all follow the path of peace.

Nice touch with John Lennon's " Imagine" & the other songs...Been sitting here listening to our oldies this AM.Cosby,Stills,& Nash, Cat Stevens and Buffalo Springs... " For What its Worth " about Kent State.Amazed at our Baby Boomer generation intelligence and tenacity back then. Giving Peace a Chance, in our own little family.
