Mimi’s Peace Globes are flying… Many of us want peace - I would say all, but there are a few who prefer to stir things up in a negative way, hate driven? Self-loathing; a missing link to a thing one might label heart and kindness in their chemistry? I don’t know, but I know that because of the strength of the few, their ability to throw a wrench in the works that seems to have the uncanny knack to stop “production of peace”, the many (all of the rest of us — a LOT of many) have to work harder and constantly at combating this disruption of peace. I don’t believe there is one way of both preventing them from disrupting or from repairing the damage they cause to society as a whole. Individually, we need to do what we can, we need to use our strengths to join in the constant battle - and at the same time shore up our weaknesses, our loss of resolve, our frustration that becomes (or became) so great that it becomes anger and blinds us from the tools we have in our arsenal.

I read years ago, when I was more impressionable, that negative energy is stronger than positive energy, that when in a crowd, the negative people can easily incite riots because of that. Riots scare the heck out of me, I think of them like runaway cattle, crushing and destroying, innocents killed or maimed because of. I don’t know if science still spouts that fact, but I do know that true or not, to combat negative energy it takes an inordinate amount of work and it is either do that work or be absorbed and controlled by the negative.

It is personally extremely frustrating when a point as important as living in peace is not accepted by the masses. No, in truth, it is extremely frustrating when it is not accepted by even one single human being. And it is only in writing this that I realize HOW important that one person is, for that ONE person can spread that negative energy to the many. Just as their negative energy can wear us down, why could not our positive energy, IF IN MASS, wear them down? It may not wear down those that truly hate, that have a major screw loose in their brains, that loathe themselves so much they don’t see the good in a single human life. It may not, but it will influence those that are teetering, that just need a little dose of respect, that need knowledge, that need someone to explain life and the benefits of peace and kindness in a way they understand.

That last paragraph, how to get there is both simple and so very complicated. So many ways to reach people, so many people, though, that are not reachable by normal every day words or your explanation, or mine, or his. That is where blogging comes in. There are so many millions blogging, we DON’T all think alike, one of us may have a different idea… And that is where Mimi comes in:

  • she is giving us another excuse to try to get the point, even just the thought, of peace across. It is but one way, but it will get through to at least one person — and one more is more than no more — and one more tips the scale that tiny bit toward peace.
  • she is using repetition, asking us to participate in peace more than once, creating a “Universal” brand, Peace Globe
  • she is bringing the word, “PEACE” to our minds
  • she is doing something,
  • she is asking us to do something, to take a step forward, to scheme, to brainstorm toward peace

Any step forward is a good step, even if retreating comes later, or we make detours along the way. You have different strengths, different ideas, you are, like Mimi, like me, like your aunt and uncle, your neighbor, your unborn child: one of the many. Brainstorm on P e a c e, I dare you. (And if you are one that plays opposites, I dare you NOT to brainstorm on P e a c e.)

I’m flying a peace globe again on June 4th. It may mean nothing to some, it may be but an opportunity to link for others, a game for yet others, but it means the world to others, so for them, I will post mine. It is your choice to Shh? or No! Speak up! And if you chose Shh?, you can always decide later, that No! Speak up! is your new course of action. It took me a while to get there, too.
