It's 'Peace Day!,' Really: ONE Day....?


Just as every day might be called Mother's Day,
Father's Day, Sister's Day, Brother's...
But there's one that's special to remind us.

Each day ultimately could be said to emanate
From that place where the Center does hold
And Peace rises, dissolving into itself as
It rises again.

I would very much like to see this film..
The trailer, above,
Stirred something in me.
Really glad I took the time to watch it.

As I don't think I ever really knew
This concept of "Today is 'Peace Day,'"
Except as it arbitrarily shows up here and there
Throughout history - where a reason is acknowledged by all:

One Christmas in the trenches of WWI,

For example.... or the time I broke through my
Impulsive anger and hugged the projection screen -
Wait - it's a person; now we smile and hug each other;
Storm passed.

So many times, so many lives, so many examples.

Ah well, always good to hear about efforts in this
Direction as someday soon they just may knit together.

The peacemakers in overwhelming numbers
Infect the population with their avid intention
And commitment to moving forward on a number
Of important challenges to our species.

Why not?
Yeah, I've heard that argument before too...
But it just doesn't wash with me anymore.
Maybe when the cynics' voices grow tired from so much
Overuse, even we will be able to hear the drone for what it is....
A mosquito we'd rather not have to harm.

It will be time to get over it, advance to the next
Level on the way toward the maturity of humanity.

Peace: Not just a video game anymore!
