(These are the responses written on the flipcharts by
participants before going into, or after coming out of
the meditation room at the March 2002 24-Hour World
Healing Peace Circle in Ann Arbor)
[flipchart sheet 1 of 2]
Healing for all beings in every dimension.
Connection & reconnection -- within ourselves, with
one another, with spirit, with earth, with All That
Is.
Know the peace, gentleness within myself... so that I
may become a beacon of light.
That we all can accept all philosophies and practices
that cause no harm and that we may all be able to tell
in our hearts that which is good.
World Cheerfulness [with a smiley face]
Our leaders use their powers for PEACE!
May humanity awaken to the need for healing of our
earth and all its creatures... [with a heart drawn
around it, and someone else chimed in with an "Amen!"]
Support & true tolerance for all beings...
Loving each other from our hearts.
SAT SRIAKAL. (everything is one and part of the
greater ONE)
To bring out the best in each of us, for each person
to have that opportunity, to unite in peace and love.
Increasing energy throughout the world toward creating
more and more positive feelings.
Hi Matthew! Glad you came.
[a personal note from one participant to another who came at a
different time slot]
Deep listening
to our bodies
to the earth's body (bodies)
deep listening to our motions & emotions
to the original wild who/what was America
before she was named,
who are we
what is under all that cement,
deep listening again & again
to find the authentic peace [peace sign]
deep listening deep listening deep listen...
A world where we all recognize our interconnectedness,
and act in love & peace accordingly.
Integrity for all,
A world in which everyone wins!
Peace and mental stillness to those that are deeply
troubled and immersed in anger, hurt and pain. May
love take its place.
A world where everyone realizes we are here to
manifest God which is Love & so have heaven on earth.
[and someone else chimed in with "yeah!" and a smiley
face and underlining of "so have heaven on earth"]
We are sailors in this life
on a voyage to find love
in all its endless beauty
a journey with no end
Release your love to all.
Let each one of us, with our unique and important
roles to play in the cosmos, rise to the fulfillment
of our best hopes for peace, love, and understanding.
Namaste.
[followed by a few words in a language not supported by
my keyboard]
A deep sense of kinship with all creatures.
especially our own dear struggling species.
And comprehension of the pain of the other and
awareness of our own part played & to be played in the
human scenario -- Deep compassion for all of it --
each of us experiencing our own self and all our kin
-- This I pray -- A Joyous peace & global community --
united.
A planet safe for butterflies ( = no genetically altered
corn), & song birds (!) & dolphins & whales...
Please, please, please!
I would like to see the human race overcome and
abandon its many forms of hate...
...If we take the time to really look at one another
it's easy to see how alike, physically, mentally,
and spiritually we all are.
Let us all Listen to one another to hear each other's
hearts, not our own next line,
Look at one another -- freely, openly, without
judgment or expectation,
Value one another -- as human beings, as important
parts of this world,
and Honor each other's journeys.
May we all radiate positive energy!
Throughout the world there is Life Force Energy.
We are one with the Planet.
[and a "hug" was added by somone else]
This, then, that
We one, many Aligned radiant chaotic splendor.
May all who know suffering find the peace of this
moment. May all who know peace remain mindful of the
suffering around us.
I would like that the Israeli stop bombing the
refugees' camps with my tax money; and that we feed
and relocate refugees everywhere istead of selling
arms around the world; as a country, we must retake
our leadership.
Wake up Spirit Souls.
Let's appreciate the diversity of all the beings
sharing this planet.
Be Happy Beautiful Ones!
Peace starts here, where ever we are.
Peace starts now, in each and every moment.
Peace starts with each of us.
