a gift of peace

[athenagrey]

 I awoke to the sound of bagpipes this morning. Right. It's the real Memorial Day, before it became a Monday holiday.

How does this woman of peace observe Memorial Day?  Not by waving flags or going to parades. This parade came to me, marching down the avenue past the Aerie's front garden.

Now that they have passed by, all is silent.

In my mind, a new Earth flag is waving gently on the breeze.  It has a white background behind the image of the Earth.

I give thought to all who have died in wars. On both sides of any conflict, and all the innocent civilian victims.  Such a waste of precious human life.  They are all victims of a world gone mad. War is never the answer.

Let peace take flight and settle gently across the world. So mote it be.
