Ripples of Peace
circling our beautiful broken world with love and peace in these troubled times
It's Crow Time 
they Shine!
Barry and Fiona make such good magic!
Beautiful….threads….and gifts of Peace ripple outwards into the World….through love shown…through creativity. This touched my heart today Mo, thanks for the gift.
(((Christina))) each leaf holds so many layers of making in the process, a labour of deep love for our beautiful broken world
Mo, I wrote this on Liz’s blog when she wrote of Barry’s leaves: Barry’s peace leaves hold so much in their shiny, curved shape; to receive 10 of them is to receive hope across the globe, is to receive a tactile sense of what each of us can do to come together for community, our country, our world, united. 8 of Barry’s leaves are going to family and friends, 2 of them I am keeping and have placed on my blessing altar as a symbol of gratitude to Barry and as a blessing of connection
(((Marti))) I wish I could share the moment of joy and deep appreciation in the eyes of each of our friends as they received their leaves, there is strong magic circling the world
the circle of peace expands, grows and touches so many…blessing flow forth around the globe.

(((Michellle)))
it’s one of those mornings where I think: it’s gonna take a lot more than this. sorry. we all go here, don’t we — from time to time.
(((Dee))) this quote always gives me hope, “Oh sure, it’s money that rules the world. It’s music that holds down the friction.” Ray Bradbury
thank you for that!
moments of peace you can touch
love Mo!
(((Yvette)))
