Celebrating Peace Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
Saturday, December 31, 2005
Fort Collins Senior Center
This year's 20th Annual theme is "Celebrating Community" Anyone, regardless of age, sex, color, religion, nationality, or political affiliation can embrace peace. We've seen what endless war has done for our world. Why not try a different way? Why not embrace peace? What have we got to lose? This year's Hour for Peace will celebrate peace and invite all to become a part of it-and to let it become a part of you. Doors will open at 4:40 am to allow everyone to get settled before the 20 minutes of silence begin. The program will begin with 20 minutes of silence for peace starting at 5:00 am (which is 12 noon Greenwich time) to link with millions around the world in simultaneous thoughts for peace. We ask that you bring your attention to peace in whatever way is comfortable for you-by silently invoking the word "peace," by meditating, by praying, or by imagining a peaceful place, situation or person, or the Earth surrounded by the "light of peace." (If you happen to bring your cell phone with you at this early hour, please make sure it is completely off. In a quiet environment, even a vibrating phone can be loud!) Following the silence will be a wonderful program of varied people who will share with you their own unique versions of peace.
