In June of 1965 at Junior High School graduation my 14 year old self spoke to an auditorium of my fellow graduates and called ours "The Hopeful Generation." Among the things that I thought we had hope for was the curing of disease, the alleviation of poverty and the attainment of world peace.
At age 61 my hope is a little tattered but still there. I think we've made progress on all those fronts. But we still have such a long, long way to go. As long as there are still people who hold these goals we have a chance. That's why I love Blog Blast 4 Peace so much, it tells me that the dream is still alive and that there is still hope.

We can never give up on peace. Beautiful post Sue.
May peace be with you.
Yes, the dream is still alive and, as long as there's a planet, there is always hope. May it be so!!!!
p.s. I so remember the idealism of those days - had they not assassinated all of our leaders, it just might have happened! It still could.
My boss likes to say that hope is not a strategy. I agree. Hope is the spark that leads us to the strategy.
Keep your hope alive. We'll find the strategy to make peace a reality.
Peace to you and yours on this Blog Blast Day and in all the days to come.
Yes, that dream of peace is still alive in me also...keep dreaming it. Peace!
I love your peace globe. I also think that there is hope and lots of it. Peace be with you, now and always,
This is why I love peace bloggers so much. Your 14-yr-old self was very wise.
Peace to you and yours,
