PEACE December 1998 If all cruelty could be swept up into one long, loud, mind-rasping scream and all pain could be cut or burnt from our bodies and all selfishness annihilated and all this and only this for exactly sixty seconds what a breathing space we would have. - Owl |

Thanks, Dixie! The silly thing is that I believe it could happen - and for a lot longer than 60 seconds. How silly can I be! - Owl |

Yes, wouldn't it be great to have a "breathing space" and it's never silly to believe it can happen because we really don't know what belief can do when the time is right. |

Thanks Helen. It's good to know that somebody else believes in belief too! Thanks, Karen, I'm glad I have helped you to feel free. Thanks, Barry, yes, wouldn't it? My pleasure. Martie, I'm glad you did. Strange that you should say that. I try every morning to find the time to and to remember to take 3 long breaths in and out in the bath. Sounds very silly, but it is surprising what a difference it makes to me at the time and to the beginning of my day. Thanks martyjo. I'm glad you believe that it can be done too. - Owl |

I believe it can happen Diana. Imagine what 60 seconds of absolute peace would feel like. You've given me something to think about... and hope for. Thank you. |

I'm screaming into the ethers for 60 seconds beginning right now! ..........  .....There! Now that should give humanity at least a little bit of breathing space!  A wonderful write from a wonderfully warm and creative heart!  Love, Light, Peace, & Harmony, EA   |

Big smiles, Karen. I'd love to do it right now, if only I had the means and the knowledge as to how! Hope the concept of 60 seconds of peace, brought you at least a little of the real thing! Yes, Kate. I think it would take somebody with oodles of time, money, knowledge and connections. At least I sowed the seed. Perhaps somebody with the above commodities none of which I have, will take it up from here. I'm glad I gave you hope for world peace - because of course, from 60 seconds, it is but steps (whether a few or many) to 60 years! Giggles and chortles and smiles, Earth Angel. You do look adorable when you scream! Yes, it certainly brought me a lot more than 60 seconds of peace, now we just need to send it to the rest of the world! Thank you for your very kind words. I feel very honoured. Thank you also for the love, light, peace and harmony and for the lovely graphics especially the flying dove. Hugs to all of you - Owl |
