*Lauren Mitchell was one of the musical performers at an antiwar rally in Lafayette Park, opposite the White House, on May 14, 2007. Ms. Mitchell is from Sarasota, FL. She is a Peace activist and organizer with the CODEPINK organization in her home state. She told me as the demonstrators from the park were marching on the U.S. Capitol, that the author of the song, "Dear Mr. President," is "PINK." Ms. Mitchell was introduced to the crowd at Lafayette Park by CODEPINK's leader, Medea Benjamin.

believing




snap, snap, snap
tap, tap, snap


believing in what I can not see
believing in the mystery





snap, snap, snap

tap, tap, snap

holding all of you in my heart

holding hope while we're apart

snap, snap, snap

tap, tap, snap

believing in what I can not see

peace, love and harmony

Reflection

Give thanks for sorrow that teaches you pity;

for pain that teaches you courage --

and give exceeding thanks for the mystery

which remains a mystery still -

the veil that hides you from the infinite,

which makes it possible for you

to believe in what you cannot see.

. . .

Robert Nathan(1894-1985, American novelist)

my space for peace

New to blogging, but not new to sharing my thoughts, I am starting this blog to serve as a diary of the search for my space for peace. I have just returned from an amazing week in Washington DC with my youngest daughter for Mother's Day 2007 at the CODEPINK house. A lovely Mother's day at Lafayette Park behind the White house was had by all. We will never forget it!
peace,
