ONE MINUTE OF WORLD PEACE - JOIN IN - OCTOBER 11

Toward World Peace

One Minute of World Peace is back for a third year.What is it? Orchestrated by Tara Leduc from Delta, British Columbia,  Canada, it is one minute, synchronized across all the world’s time zones, where people do something that means peace to them.It's simple and easy to do yet powerful too.Please join in. Here’s how:Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 11. Enter it into your phone too.According to Tara:Next, scratch your head, and decide how YOU can be peace for 1 minute. Do anything that means peace to you: * Do a random act of kindness * Tell your family how much you love them * Meditate * Sing a song * Help someone across the street * Volunteer your time * Do yoga * Hug (or cuddle or...you know) your lover * Spend a minute Imagining a World with Peace.Invite others, too. "I mean, everyone," says Tara. “Let's make this go huge! I mean, who wouldn't want to feel peace? Who wouldn't you want to share peace with? Can you imagine how great it'll feel when 100,000+ people around the world feel peace all at once? It gives me shivers. It blows my heart wide open.”Me too, Tara. So, I’m in.This reminds me of Hands Across America, something that my family and I did on May 25, 1986. On that day an estimated 6.5 million people joined in and literally held hands across America.By the way, this One Minute of World Peace is different than One Minute For Peace, which is my own initiative of taking one minute for peace each day at 1:11.Did Hands Across America matter? Does it change anything? Do these peace actions matter? What do you think? I think they do. I know that when I do things like this, I am moved a little bit closer to glimpsing that we are, indeed, all connected. I am moved toward greater peace, love, joy, and hope in my daily life. And I have faith that we are all touched and affected, for the good.
