Be Peace --BJ BJ Peters b...@cox.net 602.279.4805 "Nonviolent methods take indomitable courage and unwavering goodwill." -- Dwarko Sundrani, last active disciple of Mahatma Gandhi On Monday, November 1, 2004, at 12:05 PM, Mayke Wagner, essence wrote:
Thanks, Anne, for sharing these words from Clarissa Pikola-Estes with us! I was deeply moved when I read them. They describe beautifully what I feel like facing the elections tomorrow. As a German citizen I cannot vote - at the same time I feel deeply affected by the politics of the U.S.. A friend of mine asked me today, how I handle this powerlessness and my answer was the following: I try not to be discouraged by the things happening far away from me. I try to make a difference for the people around me, "to stand up and show my soul", to listen and serve. And although most of the people in this list are far away, I feel a strong connection with you all - which gives me hope and confidence! Thanks to all of you, Mayke
