If words are powerful, then this matters.
On November 4th, people all over the world blog for peace. Blog4Peace was created and founded by Mimi Lenox, who believes that because words are powerful, blogging for peace is important. Although I do not believe in the possibility of world peace (because war and stressful times are never our personal choice but are fostered by others or foisted on us by circumstances) I do believe in personal peace, in finding peace within ourselves no matter what happens to provoke us into chaos.
I especially believe in peace after the pain of grief. Too many people are silently aching for a love they once had, a life they once shared. I blog for them, in the hopes they will find a more peaceful time.
And yes, words are powerful. And yes, this matters.
How To Blog For Peace:
- Choose a graphic from the peace globe gallery http://peaceglobegallery.blogspot.com/p/get-your-own-peace-globe.htmlor from the photos on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlogBlastForPeace#!/BlogBlastForPeace/app_153284594738391 Right click and Save. Decorate it and sign it, or leave as is.
- Send the finished globe to blog4peace@yahoo.com
- Post it anywhere online November 4 and title your post Dona Nobis Pacem (Latin for Grant us Peace)
Sounds cool, doesn’t it? See you on November 4!
(Little did I know when I painted this picture that I would be painting my peace globe!)

I will add it to my tumblr blog. Can’t help noticing your painting of that very large, silvery full moon coincides with the actual full moon on this date. 🙂
