This morning, I am having coffee. Nothing unusual about that. But this morning, in my mind, and via the Internet, I am having coffee with Kafi. What would we be discussing? What questions would I like to ask? Would the focus be on Terror, or Hunger, or Crime, or El Nino? What questions would YOU like to ask? Do your homework. Be prepared. Know the chain of events, before you ask your question, "What's happening March 13, 2002?" Did you know one-third of the World's children in developing countries are malnourished? Did you know that 2001 was the UN Year of the Volunteer? Do you remember who withdrew from the Kyoto treaty on Global Warming? Have you ever asked why the UN members voted the USA off the Human Rights Commission? and the Drug Commission? Did you know that the US and Somalia are the only two countries not to ratify the UN Rights of The Child treaty? Before you sit down to coffee with Kafi, you might want to follow the links below so you might know what's happening, and how we got to where we are today, because staying connected with the rest of the planet is a vital part of the pathway to Peace. http://www.peaceportal.com/ http://www.unwire.org/ May the ripple of LOVE |

Midnite Sun: nodding all the way with your words: exceptional thoughts here. I will come back to this a few times. In my real job, i am a part time political writer/journalist. Poetry is a nice digression, but the subjects you speak of, and the need for global harmony and understanding....perhaps only Kafi can do something about! Great subject and idea, MS! Jeff |

Jeff, thank you. The links are part of the chain. So are you, so am I. Peaceful thoughts to you, dear friend. Accordionmaid, thanks. Yes, take your time with these two links, and they will undoubtedly help lengthen the chain of Love that we need to surround the globe. |

Maybe we should withdraw from the UN completely. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Yes, yes, we must all pay attention to what is happening in the world so we know how we can all help and do our part to help nourish those who need it the most and bring harmony to all our worldwide neighbors! (sigh) This is excellent and thought-provoking, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Ivy Rose, thanks for your comment. Interloper, I cannot agree with you on this. Noah, thanks friend. BTW, the UN Security Council has voted on a US drafted resolution regarding Palestinian-Israeli conflict. This is the first time the UN has ever officially aknowledged the Palestinians rights. I consider this a step in the right direction, if it in any way brings to a halt, the constant bloodshed. Let there be Peace. |

Your writing makes me realize that I need to pay a bit more attention to the world around me. |
