Dona Nobis Pacem

Seems silly to write about peace on the day I usually write about what kind of crazy stuff goes on in prison. But here we go.

I think my grandpa is the perfect example of living in peace. He worked hard and enjoyed his retirement. He fished and walked his dog and spent time with his children. All of them. That's how it should have been. Work and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Sounds like a plan. I think I will do that.

Live in peace.

Always.

Last year, at this time, I posted here for last year’s Blog Blast For Peace. The post was sad and filled of lost hope and desperation. But it was still a cry for peace.

This year, there is no desperation. Only hope. No worry about how I will pay the bills, no living in a box behind K-Mart… Just hope.

Hope for a world with peace. Hope for a day of peace.

I know now how little peace there is. I spend every day with people who have no concept of peace, people who cannot even fathom a world full of peace. People who have murdered, raped, assaulted other and sold and used drugs. These people could care less about peace, which only makes me want it more. Despite the desperation of last year being with no job, wouldn’t it be super cool if the world was at peace and there were no more prisoners to worry about?

On this day, let us all take a moment and feel the peace in our lives…

Peace in knowing we have family
Peace in knowing we have jobs and can pay the bills
Peace in knowing that there are others out there sharing this peace today.

Today and every day…

Grant Us Peace

Now is the time for peace. Now when there are people like me with no job, no money and very little hope. We need to bring peace to these kinds of people. Someone show me and others like me that somewhere out there there will be peace and hope again. It's out there. I have to believe it. I am still looking for it though.

There will be no Wordless Wednesday today. Sorry. Check back next week.

I was going to write some other stuff. I was mad, pissed off even. People have a lot of nerve and just don't think about what they are saying. Yes, you know who you are jerkasses...

But, peace seemed like a much better subject.

On Eve's blog, she wrote that peace begins at home. When you can achieve peace in your own family, you can then begin to achieve peace on Earth.

I haven't got much peace right now in my own life. I am sort of in limbo. I have 27 days to move out of my apartment. I don't want to stay where I am because it's too expensive and this job is going no where fast. I have been job hunting for months with very little to show for it... A few phone calls, an interview, some e-mails... but no job. I believe in karma and know that eventually I will find what I am looking for. But until I do, I am a wreck. I am not sleeping. I am barely eating. I argue with everyone.

This morning, my Grandpa got into a car accident. Luckily, he is okay. His car will never see another stop sign, but he is going to be fine. I don't think he'll drive again. It's okay, he has people who care and will drive him where ever he needs to go. He has good karma.

My sister is going to Hawaii. She and her husband are supposed to be there by July 6. She is so excited. My sister always has good things going for her. She makes me want to hit her sometimes, but I don't since she is my sister and decking your sister would be very bad karma, no matter what you think of her. No very peace loving either.

Today, is Wednesday, June 4, 2008. Good things will happen today. There is peace out there. Check out the other peace bloggers today at the Blogblast for Peace (Link at top).

Peace....
