"To The Peacemakers", A Night At A Bazaar & of Celebrating

To The Peacemakers

Angels

Candles

Doves that fly

Solstice

Holidays

Pecan Pie

Fellowship

Friendship

Love of folks

Singing

Dancing

Feeling hope

Eggnog

Cider

Coffee

Tea

Spices

Sweet treats

Balsam trees

Golden flickerings

Flames so pure

Bells are ringing

Drumming soars

Skylines twinkle

Nighttime lures

This is perfect

Nothing more

Last night we attended a lovely Peace event, sponsored by a very passionate & local group that came into existence in the Spring of 2009.

The, Israel/Palestine Peace, Education & Action Group of Eastern Ct, have active members from Christian, Muslim, & Jewish faiths, as well as non-faith based individuals.

Excellent speakers & performers were on the program promoting acceptance of differences, tolerance & peace, in conjunction with the, I/PPEAGEC , Mission Statement as put forth in the

Universal Declaration of Human Rights & the Earth Charter

My spot was along a wall in a gathering area, at the entrance way of the Quaker Meeting House, where this delightful fundraiser was held. Our friends Marge & David, the organizers of this event had so kindly extended an invitation to us, to participate. Yes, the Peace Garden was there with all it's colorful frills, enticing fellow winter gardeners to decorate a Peace Flag or two. This is always one of my most favorite of projects. A very kind & welcoming Quaker Lady at the Meeting House last night referred to me as an "activist artist", which it seems I am, being one of my true, true, "labors of love".

*Peace Be With You, In All Seasons*

Todays included poem "To The Peacemakers", brings us to the fourth entry in this new series, Poetry A muse In Motion.
