This is going to be a rather musical Peace Blog entry as I’ve been doing it now for more than a decade, and needed a new idea of two. Albert Einstein provided the quote. One very brave totally involved lady eagle kept her newest brood safe from a completely unexpected DC snowstorm. During the worst of it, her mate lay on top of her to shield them all. Sometimes we all need to accept the assistance of others to weather the worst of life’s events. When it comes to peace, get involved.
Each year Queen Mimi of Bloggingham Castle requests an encore from The Bear A Tones. When her majesty makes a decree for Dona Nobis Pacem, this wonderful Colorado Bob creation must appear.
On Broadway there is a great show Come From Away. If you can get to New York while it is still playing do so. If not get the album. It tells the story of the planes that were grounded in Nova Scotia due to the 9/11 attack, the passengers from all over the world who were stranded together and the amazing Canadians who welcomed and cared for them. Which brings us once more to the “when feeling overwhelmed, get involved” theme. It is a funny, thoughtful, both sad and joyous show. In the middle of it, several people are seeking peace and they find it in old hymns and remembered songs of their various faiths with a prayer for peace. Today let’s sing that prayer together.
If you stop by, please say hello.

Great post! Love all the peace related reminders. I’ve been fascinated with Come From Away since it came out. I don’t know if you saw this but I thought you might enjoy some background from the writers. (As singers, they make lovely song writers LOL!) Seems that they had hundreds of amazing stories to choose from so kudos to them for being able to distill them all into this terrific musical!

Love the story behind “Me and The Sky” and the fact that the real woman has seen the show more than 60 times.

Most wonderful post! And The Bear A Tones – priceless!!! I was telling a friend of mine about them and for the life of me I could NOT remember where and what they were called!
Thanks and Happy World Peace Day!

Glad you enjoy them. Colorado Bob did them for me years ago and they are stars once a year.

Jamie – You have obeyed the Queen. The Bears are in sweet harmony once again.
Come From Away. You have introduced me to a story that I didn’t know existed. I am fascinated. Those songs melded together! The diversity. And the strength that comes from respecting our differences. The Jewish man who now chooses to identify himself. Ah!!! I would love to see this production and most certainly will get the soundtrack.
Thank you for another outstanding peace post.
Peace to you and yours,
Mimi xxoo
