Say No To WAR!

 

 

Blue Doves For Peace

Let’s spread the message of peace through the giving of blue paper doves!

Flower Riot!

Really spread love not violence and hate. I believe in solving everything the peaceful way (without violence nor threats).

Shadows of Memories, New Heroes’ Wish by Jeffrey Salon

“The work Shadows of Memories, New Heroes’ Wish rebounds on a more romantic tilt. In a hopeful boy, Salon seeks a more positive light as he puts an end to all these prevalent (to paraphrase the Desiderata’s last lines) “sham, drudgery, and even his broken dreams.” This work represents everything that has won for him in major art competitions. Showing Salon’s soft heart and how it could translate to clear blue skies and happy smiles. Like parables, the message is simple and meaningful: what children want may not be a good and comfortable life but affection from a parent or being able to play freely.
If one notices Salon’s deep concern for children’s causes, it is because of a certain Rodrigo Benitez. A man of the world now disgruntled, Benitez was senior artist who sought refuge in his hometown in Bicol. A classmate introduced them and this chance encounter by his house by the sea, a sort-of-Tuesdays-with-Morrie would happen. Through endless hours, they would discuss anything under the sun except art but Salon would recall and reflect them in his works. Time lapsed and city life got Salon busy with his art, Benitez passed away last year. This still hurts Salon to this day. As he continues to fight this younger generation’s struggle, it is also important for him he does not sound as stale as old tobacco as he defends children in a style that is not staid or looks like a propaganda piece.” by JAY BAUTISTA

 Let us all work towards…

and…

For them… 

and them…

and them…

One world starting from me. And you.

So come join me.

Love and Acceptance is all that takes to make a difference.

No Terms nor Conditions.

Spreading Hugs. Revised.

 

You can never have too much hugs. Go hug someone out there today!!!

So… Just Love!

This here is an art made by using Crayola crayons and a hair dryer. Just melt them. Yes, MELT!

There are times when we feel down or angry or mad or basically ‘not so great’, just get up and just LOVE. You could give someone a hug or maybe cook for a special person, maybe even bake cookies for your neighbors. The idea here is to not focus on whatever “crappy” feelings your feeling and focus on creating something positive instead. It feels so much better for yourself and the other person.

So, go on and LOVE someone today, everyday!!!

Benjamin Zander: Classical music with shining eyes

Benjamin Zander has two infectious passions: classical music, and helping us all realize our untapped love for it — and by extension, our untapped love for all new possibilities, new experiences, new connections.

I truly believe that the beauty of this video is that it can be applied to anything in life and the things we do.

Mum & Dad

Here’s a simple question. How long has it been that you have looked at your mum and dad?? And when I say “looked” I meant sitting across them and really look at them. What do you notice? Perhaps you noticed a lot more wrinkles or perhaps a scar or two, or maybe a beginning of dark circles forming under their eyes. Perhaps you’ve noticed how much they have aged, or maybe you noticed something about their eyes, is it tiredness, sadness, happiness?

So you’re here wondering, what’s this all about and what has it to do with a blog on Peace and Unity. Well simply because if you do not start creating the peace and unity within your own family, how do you expect to do the same towards the society and even the world? Personally what I’ve noticed is that having that understanding and honest relationship with your parents really affects every other relationship you have in the family, one way or another. SO lets do this little activity (sounds fun, ain’t it?). Sit across you mum, or dad or both of them. Look them in their eye (look not glare) and say “Thank you and I Love You.” Give them a big hug to end this little activity. If you want to, bring them out for dinner (or cook them dinner) or for movies before your hugs, Thank you’s and Love you’s.

So you may be thinking what is this really about?? APPRECIATION. When we do not even appreciate the ones close to us, how would we truly appreciate our fellow humans? Like the saying goes, “It all starts from one small step.”

Dear Mum and Dad, Thank You and I Love You.

 

Children and an Umbrella: The Sequel

“Defense Cooperation”
Artist: Sutatip M.
Location: Petchaboon, Thailand
Age: 16
“In my picture people around the world play together to protect the world. Similarly, there is an umbrella to protect against solar rays. A nuclear weapon is a mass destructive weapon from which many living things will be affected. People from different nations come together to sweep away nuclear weapons so as to create peace for our future.”

 We can be the “umbrella” that shields, that protects. We can create the peace that we all sought for, fight for. We can stop wars, we can create the future we envisioned by starting now with us.

It’s great to see the world like children, where everything is a possible, friends can be made through passing crayons in kindergarten or a simple game of hide and seek. Where there is no barriers, no walls and no discrimination due to a difference of color or religion.

So I challenge you to give yourself an hour to see the world like a child again and interact with others, without the walls and barriers around you. Shake hands with the security guard whose name you never knew, say thank you to someone who is special to you. As your neighbor how’d they do, or go up a stranger and offer a hug.

Peace and Unity begins with us. It’s Now or Never.
