My usual daily walk, this morning, was usual in every sense; except that it was not usual. On this particular walk, every time, I passed a walker or a dog-walker, I was made aware that TODAY is the LAST DAY of the year 2015. And, this fact made today’s walk an un-usual one. “Happy new year,” “Happy 2016,” “Have a great new year,” “All the best in 2016.” These were wishes wished to me by the people I passed.
I started to get into the spirit of this day. With my pace trying to catch up with Thomas, my beagle; I felt my thoughts trying to catch up with this passing day. All the wishes started to swirl inside my head – no homelessness, no poverty, no killings, no hunger, no rapes, no child abuse, no child trafficking, no abuse, no animal abuse, no misuse of power and money…OH! MY THOUGHTS BECAME UNSTOPPABLE! My pace and blood flow followed! I realized that I ultimately wanted only ONE thing for our world, our earth, our planet, for 2016 and years beyond 2016:
Please, there be peace in this world.
….thanks for visiting my blog…until next time 🙂
