on march 21 i proposed a peace flag project on my personal blog and it met with interest... as fortune would have it, i have found myself in the midst of some wonderful people - people who make me feel as if i belong to a larger tribe... and so the hermit who loves to sit at a bench and 'make' is now involved in something bigger...
peace flag/prayer flag projects are not uncommon... we even came upon a dream flag project in philly at the children's hospital a couple of years ago...
what moves me so much about these projects - and about the prayer flags themselves as traditionally used - is the intention of spreading good to all... it is the cooperative effort, the linking of intentions that makes them so powerful...
and so you are invited...
you are invited to make a peace offering in flag form to fly on international peace day 21 september 12... so that we can join our wishes with those of so many others across the globe... and to create a ripple with our blogs by posting about it all on the same day...
pages will be appearing here with links and such - we will be assembling participants and their blogs...
if you would like to post at any time, please ask - i am hoping this will be a living blog... with a project focus? yes... but also with a focus upon sharing your stories, art, thoughts on a daily basis...
thank you to the friends who so enthusiastically responded to the idea and who will be participating on the blog...
in peace and with gratitude (and excitement) -
mary jane
I am very excited to see this project evolve and grow... thank you for starting a ripple.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful heartfelt project-blessings to you Mary Jane for starting this, and all the others involved! How beautiful this is. I hope to participate as well, if I get around to my blog going live. ;o) I will so enjoy reading the journey, nonetheless. xo
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful and dear to my own heart. And as stregata says, thank you so much for sharing a ripple. I'll be with you in this so worthwhile journey.
ReplyDeleteI am in strange place at this moment...a nano second in eternity..when all forces are giving me a split second of personal peace and self satisfaction. I relish it and take your hand to strengthen the peaceful energy we all will send forth in our unified prayers for peace.
ReplyDeleteIn less cryptic language...I'm in.

What a beautiful idea Maire! The list continues to grow....May the ripple become a wave....
ReplyDeleteHow inspired , as we think we create. Creating peace is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYipee!!
ReplyDeleteMary Jane, what a beautiful idea...and so great to see the concept you put forth is now touching others and continues to grow. Your new blog is a brand new, peaceful spot here on the web - love the background you chose for the site.
ReplyDeleteSign me up! I am busier than a kicked hornet's nest, but I think your intention to spread good is worthy and definitely a beautiful thing! Let me know if you need anything or need a sponsor for a giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI am in too! I love the idea and we all know that Peace desperately needs a helping hand these days. I live in a rural area in Spain and there is a local group of artists in the making. We'll create a Google group as soon as we have a name. Maybe we could participate as a group too?
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect... And this is the time. Very exciting
ReplyDeleteMJ-yes thanks for starting the ripple. B
