I will, indeed, check out “The Power of Peace”. It’s a good sign when my friends and I are on the same page, as it were.

I like your vision of a nobler and gentler world. I will hold onto that vision as the new year comes in. Together we must envision a brighter future if we want it to appear. Happy New Year! Happy 2012!

This post is a close relative of mine on “The Power of Peace.”

You write of “going beyond the ordinary is what we must do, then let us show the rest of the world the way.” I write of feeling the power of our best possibilities and giving these life in our lives and our world.

I have never entertained the thought that you should be ignored and am not about to begin doing so now. We do indeed need to “rediscover in ourselves” the best of our heritage, the best of our humanity, the best of our commitment to one another and nobler and gentler world.

Thanks for the thought provoking article.

Larry

It’s all about people waking up to the world around them and taking responsibility and taking part in being the change they want to see. The 99%ers are scaring the carp out of the 1%ers and that’s good news. I’m with you in hoping for and working toward a long-term change for the better!

People have been questioning and standing up far more this year. It does seem like people have ‘woken up’ to what has been going on. I don’t know if it’s the fact that more information is spread now via the internet and the public are learning more about what is going on behind the scenes and what has been going wrong but they are no longer willing to let those in charge fob them off with excuses and lies. There’s far more of us than there is of them and hopefully it will be a long-term change for the better.

If they hadn’t drawn the pictures, we’d still be living in happy ignorance. They are also responsible for the fact that my electric can opener won’t work. They’re very insidious! I’m pulling for rainbows and lollipops, too, but I’m keeping my eyes open.

We are All carbon-based life forms who evolved and must live together on our increasingly smaller planet. It’s pretty simple.

I’m choosing to think that it will be something Good!

Those pesky aliens were causing problems even thousands of years ago. I’m hoping 2012 will be all rainbows and lollipops!

I have read quite abit about the Mayan calendar and understand that it could be taken as a prediction of end of time. Yet, there have been so many predictions of the end of time. Believers have committed suicide, been murdered by others, and generally taken advantage of by the proponents of these predictions. So I am a believer in “We know not the day or moment of the end of life.”

Bill Clinton on The View today said his success was that both political parties senators and representatives realized they needed to work together to get things done. That is not the case today. As you stated we must rediscover the spirit Americans have always had. In working together we can overcome any challenge.

Thank you for the posting.

What a way to think about the new year!
