SATURDAY 17TH DECEMBER
DAY 17
I found the following quote for peace on google while wanting to read some of the lyrics of Bob Dylan
on my December theme Peace. IT WAS A DOONA DAY FOR ME.
Jimi Hendrix famously said,
“when the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
That was over fifty years ago, and the world hasn’t moved on much since then.
A glance at the news and you’ll see there’s still far too much suffering in the world.
We still have poverty, wars, famine, corruption, etc., despite massive advancements in technology.
We still have to fight for peace, though.
We can’t give up. “
My 11 year old Grandson who lives in England and who has just completed year 7 has read a Michael Murpugo book called Private Peaceful ,which involved him in the life of Tommo who confrounts the execution of his brother for being a coward and refusing to go over the hill into the fire.
Thomas has written and reads here a poem in response to his English set text.
