woven together.
This drawing is by Anja Rozen, a 13-year-old primary school student in Slovenia.
She was chosen from 600,000 children around the world
to create a piece of art to show what peace looks like.
She is the winner of the international Plakat Miru competition.
“My drawing represents the land that binds us and unites us.”
“Humans are woven together.
If someone gives up, others fall.
We are all connected to our planet and to each other,
but unfortunately we are little aware of it.
We are woven together.
Other people weave alongside me my own story; and I weave theirs,”
said the young designer.

‘hope will never be silent.’ – harvey milk
50 protests/50 states/50 capitols
good to be one small part of
these peaceful protests
filled with people
refusing to be silenced
in my state capitol of lansing, mi, usa
and all around the country
people traveling long distances
sharing rides
taking time off of work or school
in cold and bad weather
to show their refusal to sit down
lawmakers of all ages and races and genders spoke out
this young activist, a local college student
who helped to organize our state’s protest
spoke with passion and cried
while addressing
why this is so important
already understanding at such a young age
some truths are universal
proud to stand with each and every one of them
on national tv tonight – protests in states across the nation
united in their cause.

the arts of peace.
not me, nor my garden
but he and i have similar attitudes
and this warmer weather
really has me wanting to get my garden going
then just stand back
and take it all in.

one love.
always enjoyed bob marley
the new biopic musical film about him
was a bit disjointed
but
leads were very good
his message stood strong
music was a great bonus
especially loved the real footage at the end.
