ps i read why do people cry when they see the monks โฆ it said because we don't see much peace or hope in this world that chocked me up oh I really see the monks bringing hope over many many years many monks did pilgrimages they see the world and how scared people are and they are guiding us with thier light this is so so so powerful God im so in awe and I do not have role models or idolise anyone but these monks I do I really do I wish I could be in thier presence I'd definitely leave the house for that

Yup, these are confusing times we live in. I definitely agree. Somehow I am glad it touches us, even if it means we end up crying, at least we care, right? And it impacts so many people, imagine standing on the side of the street there, everyone being interconnected.

Raising the vibrations as you said everyone as one we been high jacked by establishment we should be connected to the earth as one sounds hippyish imagine training brain like the monks do

Tears of joy, perhaps, that hope for peace still exists?
Here's another organisation I really like, called Peace One Day. The founder, Jeremy Gilley, convinced the United Nations to declare an annual International Day of Peace on September 21.
Here is a recent clip by Jude Law, an ambassador for this organisation, talking about their work:

Imagine a similar Walk For Humanity, Peace, Interconnection starting in Northern Ireland, through the UK, across the North Sea to the NL, Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy (meeting with the Pope), and up through Germany to Scandinavia to walk right to Russia. It would be magnificent, don't you think @Catherine21 @StarryEyed

What a brilliant idea, @SmellyBin !!! Yes! The Pope would be totally into that because every year he declares a theme for that year, and this year's theme is peace. So your timing is perfect. I'll be in Sweden in August! ๐

I've only been there briefly twice - when I was born until six weeks old, and then again for 10 days in 1992 to visit family. I have all my family on Mom's side there. Yes, it has beautiful nature. It too has its serious challenges. All countries do, of course. Have you ever been there?

Can I just say that thinking about this and seeing the coverage on Youtube also makes me really sad for how my life is now, being a housebound chronic.
I am thankful I was able to sit outside for fifteen minutes today, enjoying the cold, the silence in the garden. And yet, there is not much more to my life. I see all these people on the side of the streets and I am not ever there, wherever 'there' means at any given time.
This is part of life, I know. It has been for quite a while, but sometimes it hurts a bit more. Writing it here is acknowledgement of that suffering, me being human. Not less in any way, I am saying this because that is what I have been struggling with for quite a while. I am starting to sense it way more now, than just know it rationally. Thanks, guys.0 -
@SmellyBin as long as you're alive, being a housebound chronic - or any other person in any circumstance - means you belong in this world. Humans are herd animals, so our instinct is to belong to eachother and to contribute to the herd. Of course there are always outliers - variations in nature. ๐ So where is the 'there' that you want to be? I'll try to meet you there. I'm serious in saying I like your idea of a route for a Walk For Humanity, Peace and Interconnection. Since I'm mostly housebound too, how about a virtual walk?

I just heard the Peace One Day organisation's anthem by Dave Stewart and Daryl Hall. I think it's quite beautiful, yet tough stuff, of course. Here it is:

@Catherine21, you're welcome.
I'm a bit of a hermit too. But also enjoy socialising. Quite the mix of just about everything, being half Spaniard, half Swede, raised in Canada. It's all very confusing! ๐ Yes, a long time indeed. Hopefully the reunion will go well. But there are going to be 30-40 people there. Yikes! That's a ton. It's the 90th birthday of an uncle. Hopefully he makes it. Good night. โ๐ผ

Yes, there is always a place for hope for me too, even if it's just the size of a tealight. Another amazing organisation working for peace is the Red Cross. They help everyone, regardless of sides. We all belong to the same species.
Here's another great song about hope that I love by 4 Non Blondes, "What's Up."
