SNV Day 2 ~ SMILING
Simply stated, the purpose of the Season for Nonviolence is to create an awareness of nonviolent principles and practice as a powerful way to heal, transform and empower our lives and communities. Through an educational and community action campaign, we honor those who use nonviolence to build a community that honors the dignity and worth of every human being. We are demonstrating that every person can move the world in the direction of peace through his or her daily nonviolent choice and action.

Message for a New Year ~
"Paeans" By Maya Angelou

The bells are a-clamor
chimes have been loosed
there is a banquet of Hosannas in the air.

We have endured endless peaks of pain and valleys of loneliness;
We have lost beloved's we could not live without;
yet we have lived.

We have encountered unforgivable cruelty;
yet we have forgiven
yet we have been forgiven.

We have survived, flourished, and thrived
with passion, compassion, humor and style.
We have been fortunate and worthy.

Now we stand, heavy laden, before a great gate
which leads to the rest of all time.
It swings ajar, and we know at this critical moment
that not all we carry need enter when we enter.

We can evict hate and scorn from our souls;
we can open clenched fists,
and let bigotry, malice and enmity fall back down the slope to yesterday.

We can lay down our burden of violence and step lightly over the lintel
into a vernal and newly-minted tomorrow.

We, who never saw a new century;
we, who never saw a new one thousand years,
can join the hallelujah, the hymns, the paeans, the voices all over the world.

We can shout or whisper, scream or mumble: Happy New Year!!!
