Increasingly the need for peace grows greater. In this blog, I hope to cull readings and activities which may lead to peace. First and foremost, knowing and understanding people from different backgrounds, in my opinion, will lead us to a willingness to avoid war and work for peace in this world.

Teaching for Peace
I want to learn how to connect the teaching ideas from Rhetoricians for Peace to this blog and my blog to their website. We're all a bit philosophical and some of us are also political. So I sometimes get frustrated with our apparent impotence to effect change and I want to find ways to teach peace. When I teach the political I get to "passionate" in ways that impede my intended results. I suppose that I can start looking for and practicing inner peace in order to teach peace. I've placed the RFP link on the sidebar of this blog.

A Worker for Peace Has Left Us
A Worker for Peace Has Left Us
Coretta Scott King had a spirited send off after her passing today, February 7, 2006. I’ve been so busy surviving my life that I hadn’t kept up with her work, which is monumental. So from the stories I heard yesterday and today I am reminded of the quote by MLK—not everyone can be famous but everyone can be great in service. I paraphrased that one. One fo the Main Stories on this is "Body of Coretta King Laid to Rest" I appreciated the question posed by Bill Clinton because it reminds me that we need to continue to work for peace and do what we can in our various corners of the world. As long as each of us does something to contribute to peace, understanding, and love for one another, King’s dream may yet be a reality for many who have been unable to live the dream he and his wife had for humankind. Two news stories about the funeral and about the fact that people desperate for healing must be careful in whom they place their trust. First, 10,000 Mourn Then, the story of King's Children's shock
at their mother's death.

Navajo Peaceful Resistance
This article from the LATimes, demonstrates a quiet and peaceful resistance to perceived injuries and unfairness by the USGovernment. This woman prays daily for the right to stay where she is. Whether or not one agrees with her point on the legalities of the situation, it is interesting that a small woman has not faced violence over her point of view. For my Native American women writers' class this may be a good model for a representation of women from the past.
