http://worldelderland.com/images/Whereas.png elders, caregivers and all community members where elders live, know that our actions, thoughts, words and attitudes are ways to contribute with the evolutionary process of peacemaking

http://worldelderland.com/images/Whereas.png our elders, our treasures, know that we are living in a beautiful world whose respect and reverence for human life and all living things, makes nurturing PEACE and better ways to live 'TOGETHER' a priority

http://worldelderland.com/images/Whereas.png in 1981 the United Nations proclaimed that the International Day of Peace, September 21, would be "devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace among all nations and all human beings" and all elders in the world are invited to actively join this special commemoration

All elders are invited to read the "Reflection For Peace" poem and to write their own heart's desires for a better world

Reflection For Peace
by Kathy J. Ward

May the divine LOVE
nurture and help me become
an INSTRUMENT OF PEACE.
May there be PEACE on earth.

I am giving peace a chance,
it means
JUSTICE, LOVE, KINDNESS
in my thoughts, in my writings,
in my heart, in my words,
in my actions, in my hands,
in my eyes, in my soul.

For the war is not only around me
but perhaps trapped...
in my thoughts, my writings,
my heart, my words, my actions,
my hands, my eyes, my soul...

So I begin today, for tomorrow will be much too late,
day-by-day progress is made
waves of love are attained:
for those who lose dreaming are lost,
for what I am only part of what I create.
I am a child of this universe,
a peacemaker,
a JOY to the world.

Sing a song for PEACE tonight
sing with me, YOU and I
holding hands, letting the sound travel
and the fragrance of love inspire
new beginnings, turning times and tides...

Together... always together.

PEACE begins with one spark,
it all begins with YOU and I.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS BETTER BECAUSE OF ME?

DECIDE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
DECIDE TO DO IT NOW!

Peace be with you!
