Anyone who has been with me on my writing journey for a while will have seen B4Peace posts, or at least posts tagged with that moniker.
Bloggers For Peace was set up in 2013 by Kozo and Cheri, who is still the active admin on the WordPress site. Over time, the active input into the B4Peace community has dwindled, although there are still a few posts popping up in my reader that have the B4Peace tag.
Recently, I popped onto the Bloggers for Peace website and saw a post from a while ago asking what people want to do with the site. The idea it might stop was quite sad, and it made me want to do something practical to re-engage.
So, I am hereby committing to a monthly peace post. It will be one of my Thursday ones, as I can’t fit any more in at the moment, but that’s part of what free posts are about – enabling me to share something from my non-writing mind!
It would be great to get more people back on the peace train. We need to lift our voices and speak loudly of love, community, friendship, warmth, companionship, respect, trust and all those wonderful things that peace can provide.
We have all seem what hatred and fear can do. B4Peace is a way of countering all the negative voices, and showing there is more than one way to see the world.
Let me know if you want to get involved. And, in lieu of writing a specific post for January yet, here’s a quote about peace from Desmond Tutu that I found on the Peace alliance website, which is a perfect summary to the B4Peace ideal:
Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.
Be peaceful,
EJ
