If we are to reach real peace in the world,
We shall have to begin with the children.
And if they will grow up in their natural innocence,
We won’t have to struggle,
We won’t have to pass fruitless ideal resolution,
But we shall go from love to love and peace to peace.
Until at last all the corners of the world are covered.
With that peace and love for which consciously or unconsciously the whole world is hungering.
-- Mahatma Gandhi

Hi Tajali,
I am writing you to ask if you can help spread the word about Globalfamily Day (one day of peace and sharing), celebrated every January 1st by the citizens of the world. It is a day where individuals and families share food with friends (especially the needy), make personal pledges of non-violence, and spread a message of peace and sharing by ringing a bells or beating a drum in hopes of making society and the world a safer place to live.
Globalfamily Day is an official international day of peace and sharing. The day was co-founded by Linda Grover and Congressman John Conyers (chief sponsor of the Martin Luther King holiday). Globalfamily Day has twice received the unanimous support of the U.S. Congress (S. Con. Res. 138, S. Res. 582, H. Con. Res. 317), the UN General Assembly (Resolutions 54/29 and 56/2), thirty-plus sitting heads of state and ambassadors representing more than 2/3 of the worlds population.
We have two brand new resolutions pending in the US Senate and House of Representatives (S. Res. 357 and H. Con. Res. 221) asking all Americans to observe Globalfamily Day on January 1, 2010 and asking President Obama to invite world leaders to celebrate Globalfamiy Day. These resolutions will be introduced in congress this week. We are holding a press conference on Capitol Hill on December 16th. We hope we can get President Obama to support our initiative and get him to use Globalfamily Day as one of his Nobel Laureate projects.
Would you or any of your friends and associates be interested in helping us spread the word about the importance of celebrating a day of peace? If you are interested and available, please let me know how I can reach you by telephone or email. Feel free to call or email me at any time. Thank you so much for your wonderful thoughs. I hope we can continue this conversation. Carpe diem!
Sincerely

Hello Tajali,
Some months ago, the unknown word mahaivi resounded in my mind at night. I took down a poem about Love and Life. And I sketched a symbol of Life. The following morning I looked up the word. It was an old Polynesian word that means "to live and be alive". We are officially launching it on 1/1/9. Please visit www.mahaivi.net and help to spread it as a universal symbol of Peace, Love and Life.
I would certainly be willing to pick you up if I had access to a car, butI would try to contact Khalid for a ride (that is what I am doing). If you have an e-mail address I can probably pass on his number to you. The KHIDMAT program is a work exchange program that is available through the Abode year round. In exchange for doing 25 hours of work/week and 10 hours of spiritual study in exchange for a room, and 9 meals a week. Since I recently left my job I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to persue. Well, I look forward to seeing you in October!
I think I just added you to my list. It is so good to hear from you again! How is your peace project going? I do still want to learn more about your program. I am on my way back to the Abode in about a week (I'll be doing KHIDMAT for a couple of months)
