Dona Nobis Pacem
*BlogBlast for Peace
This morning, as I sit here staring at the computer, trying to decide where to go with this post, I'm smelling the hint of rain (just a sprinkle) in the air, mingling with the sweet basil I planted this weekend. The smell of basil has followed me around the house the last several days because every time my little WonderDog gets a chance, he puts his face right in it and breathes deeply. He loves sweet smelling herbs nearly as much as I do.
It's such a beautiful, quiet morning. I know this is my only chance for peacefulness today, until I crawl back in bed this evening. Correction, this is my only chance at quiet today. In April, I wrote about discovering that peace isn't what I thought it was. Well, so be it.
I want peace to be this picture perfect, pastoral scene. Or maybe a quiet beach, looking out at the sunrise. And it's not. And that's okay.
So, on this momentarily quiet and peaceful Peace Day, dona nobis pacem. I hope God grants you the peace that you need, the peace in your heart and in your mind. And I hope He gives you the strength to smile and say "So be it" when what is in front of you doesn't look like your typical ideal of peace.
Blessings....dona nobis pacem.
Blog Blast for Peace--coming June 4.
The Peace Globe project began in the fall of 2006 with a simple post from one blog, Mimi Writes. The post ignited a flame in the blogosphere. The flame became a passion. The passion became a movement. It amazingly traveled from blog to blog to blog across the globe. Bloggers wrote passionate articles on what peace means to them, along with the promise of three Latin words scribbled on a globe - Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace) - branded with the integrity of their names or blog names. It was positively inspiring to watch. And it began to happen all over the world - from Singapore to China to Afghanistan to Brooklyn. It was simple. And powerful.
Won't you join us?

Quote on a pretty morning
Is this not the best quote for my month? (Okay, I know you don't all know what my month has included, but I'm happy..that's all you need to know.)
The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.
~Frank Lloyd Wright
Here's a little challenge for whomever would like to play.
Tell me why this quote works for you today, this week, this month, this year (dare I say, this decade, century, millenium? heeeheeeeheeeeheeee!!!)
