Calling All Peace Bloggers

It is that time of year with peace flows from Bloggingham and all are called to send voice of peace out into the world.  Dona Nobis Pacem and the peace activism of Mimi Lennox is important.  Please join us with your own blog and message.  This year’s theme is the power of words.  You can get your globe here at Mimi Writes.

Gardens of Kindness … Leaven

Become ye not members of dread;
Those droplets of dark rain,
That shall scourge the land
And, water forgotten seeds of strife.

Choose thee,
To turneth away anger,
And denieth
Thy vengeful opportunities,

So that ye become a vessel
For the grace of forgiveness
And show unto the trespasser
divine mercy.

Raise up and nurture
Gardens of kindness
That their fragrance shall be sweet
Unto me.

And, that I might
Pierce those blackened clouds,
And, disburse them
With the rays of my good.

About Me

Retired great grandmother living in the Northwest US. Former radio Public Service Director and National Accounts Manager.

I’m a hair-dishevelled heilan’ coo,
Hamish McKay be ma name;
Welcome tae this dreichet glen
I’m cursed tae ca’ ma hame.
Depending on the mood I’m in
I’ll raise ma horns on high,
An’ if I like the look o’ ye
I’ll likely let ye by.
But should I dinnae like the look
O’ ye, then tak great care,
I’ll raise ma horns on high again,
Go on, get oot o’there!
So whether welcome yae or nae,
I’ll raise these horns sae mean,
Then ye shall ken ma meaning
By the twinkle o’ ma een.
