Whether you call it an end to war, diplomatic efforts, or a ceasefire, peace agreement, a treaty here and there, or an economic normalization agreement, we are getting closer to world peace... So close...
- Egypt and Ethiopia
- Serbia and Kosovo
- Armenia and Azerbaijan
- Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda
- Iran and Israel
- India and Pakistan
- Cambodia and Thailand
- Israel and Hamas
What do these situations have in common? A world sick of deadly, destructive turmoil, the Team of Donald J. Trump and ... the man himself ... US President, Donald J. Trump. Let us pray now for peace between Ukraine and Russia. I am thinking that, deep down, they want peace as well. There needs to be an end to the killing and devastation all across the world. Global Peace Imagine that for a moment.

Am watching the release of the hostages in Gaza as I type...
Can't help but think of this song -- a global anthem for peace that will probably play in your head for a while -- at least if you are anything like me who starts singing in my head after the first six words.
Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me;
let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be.
With God our creator, children all are we.
Let us walk with each other in perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now.
With every step I take, may this be my solemn vow:
To Take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.
(Jill Jackson-Miller and Sy Miller 1955)
(Are Ukraine and Russia on the horizon? May they build on success.)
