As I make my way on this path to inner peace, I am often torn between the negative and the positive. When I hear of something like this for instance, I get really frustrated and downright angry. The feelings seem to take on a life of their own and if I choose to stay in a negative frame of mind, I attract other negative situations and then well, you know where this can lead. I certainly don’t think we can pretend that negativity (in all it’s forms) doesn’t exist in the world; But instead of fighting AGAINST something, I feel compelled to seek and to nurture the positive I see in the world.
I scour the web everyday looking for the flowers that grow among the thorns and I am always amazed by the beauty I find hidden in plain sight.
I started thinking how great it would be to find a site that chronicled all manifestations of peace in the world. I searched around for a while and decided I would create my own repository.
Map of peaceful manifestations taking place all around the world.
I intend to list all peace related events; Walk, March, Rally, Art Show, etc. I’ll even set a place mark for people who make peace with a family member! I only have a few entries at the moment but I believe that over time, I will look at the map of the earth and it will be saturated with peace sign place marks that prove once and for all that most people in this world want to live in harmony and peace.
Each placemark I add to this map gives me joy and renews my faith in humanity. I hope it will do the same for you.
I welcome your submissions and ideas. (oh and I’d love to make this into a Maplet … if you know javascript and would like to help please leave a comment. Thanks! )
Peace
