2008 Event |
Our hope for peace is strong, growing and clear. This Peace Chain started on October 15th in Fort Collins, Colorado to join together our ideas, actions and wishes for Peace. It will travel from group to group and end up at THE HOUR FOR PEACE on December 31 at the Fort Collins Senior Center. This is the 20th year of the event and is celebrated around the world. Join the celebration at 4:30 am at the senior center for music and meditation. ADD L-I-N-K-S TO THE PEACE C-H-A-I-N 1. On a piece of paper (approx 2 inches x 8 inches) write a peace wish or the action you will take to bring more peace into your life, the community or the world. Color it, add drawings, or anything to celebrate your peaceful action. STAPLE it to the next link so that it is strong. Invite everyone of all ages in your organization to participate. Read some of the other links outloud. Feel the strength of joining with others and imagine this beautiful peace chain long enough to circle around the earth. 2. Keep it moving and growing! So it can be passed along to other organizations, when you are done simply drop the chain at A Place for Peace, 1605 West Mulberry (directly across from the lake at city park). The glass door on the east side of the building will be open from 7am to 7pm. Put a note with the chain identifying the name of your group so you can be acknowledged. Or if you want to pass the chain onto another group please do so. Call Ilan Shamir at 282-1620 and let us know your chain was delivered to A Place for Peace or the group name/contact person/tele number you passed the chain along to. “When I listen for Peace, I hear it. When I look for Happiness, I see it. When I touch joy, I feel it.” Howard Wallin |
