Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 5 – Day 154 – 5/19/2018

The Symphony of Peace Prayers builds upon our diversity to create a sense of oneness. Through our collaboration, and by bringing our hearts together, we are building a peaceful world.
– Masami Saionji, Fuji Sanctuary, 2012

Building a peaceful world begins with each and every one of us. We are being called upon to transcend our differences in faith, creed, ethnicity, nationality, and background, and come together with an elevated consciousness to forge a new path of light going forward. The Symphony of Peace Prayers aims to be the vehicle for this global transformation.

The Symphony of Peace Prayers (SOPP) is, as the name says, a ‘symphony’ of different faiths, traditions, and cultures coming together in harmony to pray with one voice for peace on earth. It is a worldwide peace event that is celebrated every year in May.

I love traveling by livestream to Mt Fuji each year to be in this rainbow field of children of the earth being peace, praying peace…

Let us all join in by adding our voices to this vast, ever expanding symphony…

Gratitude for All Life on Earth

Thank you, dear Air.

Thank you, dear Planet Earth.
May Peace Prevail on Earth.

Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 5 – Day 118 – 4/13/2018

may the power of love overcome the love of power over so that we may know peace…

today, the United States in violation of international and domestic law and the constitution without congressional authority has committed a criminal act of aggression with airstrikes on Syria…

i pray that all our relatives will join me in joining in a collective moment of peace… may we all feel peace right now in every wild cell creating a continuous wave of peace flowing throughout the cosmos and awakening us all to the wisdom that violence only begets violence and for their to be peace it must be built on justice guided by love…

may we all come together in this moment as instruments of peace to stand together in love for love reaching out our “hands” and tuning into our one heart of peace…

om shanti, shanti, shantihi…
