Four Steps to Put in Motion the Age of Peace

Subject: Take a breath; Imagine a World Without and Beyond War

If you want to gift the Age of Peace to your children's grandchildren we must join together to make peace the dominant story of our time.

Four things you can do now, 15 minutes of your time:

1) Send the letter in the link below to President Obama asking him to put humanity on the road to The Age of Peace.

Imagine each email like a puff of air to create the wind for the sails of the ship of peace. Give leaders inclined to peace the support they need.

2) As for what you can actually do to set in motion the energy to build a world without and beyond war, plan to set aside a few hours in the afternoon or evenings of September 21, 2014 " put it on your calendar, right now " "go to a local park, and plan a walk or a picnic. Meet likeminded people" Think of it as global version of the movie Midnight Clear. This day is the hundredth anniversary of "The War to End All Wars" and the first International Day of Peace. A humanity spirited by love for one day, as good a start as any to having peace 365 (6) days a year.

See TED talk for more on International Peace Day:

3) Go to http://www.worldbeyondwar.org/ , a portal to be counted as present on September 21, 2014. Do it now. In this portal go to "Sign the Pledge" and check "I will participate in non-violent demonstrations" " we are demonstrating in the name of justice and peace for one day. The next day back to war or not, for why not two days or more of peace, till we are done with war? Help build the buzz.

4) Then send this to everyone your network.

If we want to gift our children's grand-children the Age of Peace, we have to start somewhere. If 2.5% of humanity shows up on September 21, 2104 " this would be millions in the parks and streets,   putting peace in action will make the 24/7 news cycle.

Imagine repeating on September 21, 2015, and thereafter each September, till hundreds of millions perhaps a billion in the parks and on the streets.

It will also be day when humanitarian supplies can be rushed into war ravaged peoples.   The day when soldiers and warriors can rest, do nothing related to war, join the celebrations.

If one in five of you do this and one in five again to the power of 10 we can launch the Age of Peace.

In the name of Love I ask you to be the one to do these four things, your small part to bring the large gift of the Age of Peace to your children's great grandchildren.
