(non-Amma) The Great Silent Grandmother Gathering May 13

[Guest guest]

<moderator's note>

This is not Amma-related, but may be of interest to some list members and seems

to be a non-violent cause that Amma would likely favor. At least it's not a

far-left rambling or über-politically correct screed.

STANDING WOMEN, MAY 13, 1:00PM

 

DiosasAncianos2012/

 

The women of Ohio, U.S.A., call upon the women of

the world, from day-old babies to our most senior

elders, to stand with us on May 13, 2007, to save

the world. Our project is based on Sharon Mehdi's

book The Great Silent Grandmother Gathering. If you

don't know the story, a summary of the original

version is on the website

 

http://www.standingwomen.org

 

If you think it is appropriate, please send this

message on to all of the women throughout the world

who you think might like to join us.

 

We will be standing for the world's children and

grandchildren, and for the seven generations beyond

them. We are praying for a world where all of our

children have safe drinking water, clean air to

breathe, and healthy land and forests. A world where

they are taught to live in respect with all peoples

and cultures, with all our sacred relations, bird,

fish, mammal, insect, tree and flower. A world where

women, children and men live in equality, love, and

cooperation -- free from violence and servitude --

from the knives & drugs of the medical corporate state,

and the fists of the global gangster guild.

 

This is the world of which we dream. This is the

cause for which we will stand.

 

If you share this dream, please stand with us for

five minutes of silence at 1 p.m. your local time

on May 13, 2007, in your local town plaza, park, school

or church yard, gathering place, or any place you

deem appropriate, to signify your commitment to life

in planetwide harmony and love of nature.

 

We ask you to invite any men and boys, who do care,

to join you. We ask that you bring bells to ring

at 1 p.m. to signify the beginning of the five

minutes of silence and to ring again to signify

the end of the period of silence. During the

silence, please think about what you individually

and we collectively can do to attain this peace.

If you need to sit rather than stand, please feel

free to do so. Afterwards, hopefully you and your

loved ones can talk together about how we can bring

about this world.

 

See http://www.standingwomen.org for more details

and to register your commitment to stand with us.

The website is in 15 languages and links to a YouTube

video. We hope to see a 24 hour wave of women and men

all over the globe standing to save the world.
