Joy is the net of love by which we catch souls. - Mother Teresa
This is a time of new beginnings. Nelson Mandela said, "I am the captain of my soul." With the new year, we start the walk on our path of 2014. We are approaching Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Season for Nonviolence (SNV) is about to start.
The SNV is the 64-day period from January 30th to April 4th memorializing the dates Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. were assassinated by focusing on their legacy of nonviolence. During the Season, the United Nations, citizen groups and churches in more than 900 cities, all 50 states and 67 countries host programs designed to increase the understanding and use of nonviolent principles to heal, transform, and empower our lives and communities. This is a time to both reflect on nonviolence and to act on peacebuilding.
On our call, we will explore our visions of peace for 2014 and share those visions with each other. We want to hear from you. When you open your heart, what do you see for 2014? What do you dare to hope? What will be your peace work in 2014? What is your part in making the dream of Dr. King real?
Bring your ideas, your thoughts, a poem or a song or a quote, bring your peace-abilities, bring your list of peace and peace video resources, but most of all, bring your self and your joy to this call.
The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy. - Henry Ward Beecher
