April is National Poetry Month
I’d like to invite you to engage in a Peace Studies initiative:
HAND POEMS
Write a poem on your hand and carry it around for the day, or till it
washes off. I suggest you use peace as your subject, no matter what happens in
Iran.
Best wishes.

WHERE THERE IS …
Where there is amity, there is joy
Where there is joy, there is peace
Where there is peace, there is humanity
Where there is humanity, there is love
Where there is love, there is concern
Where there is concern, there is care
Where there is cadre, there is unity
Where there is unity, there is strength
Where there is strength, there is harmony
Where there is harmony, there is trust.
Any of these if we lack
We face the dearth of all,
Surrounded by uncertainties
Of mistrust and hatred,
Of violence and hesitation,
Of death and destruction,
Of uproar and dejection,
We lose every viable option
And sprout seeds of destruction.
