Oh, I got it now!

Yesterday I wrote that I couldn't remember the name of the international organization that had been the impulse to start "Imagine Peace".  In my meditation time, it came to me:  "Alliance for a New Humanity".  Common Ground-goers came to know of this group because our ministers, Rev. Judy dePrete and Rev. Glenda Knox, traveled to Puerto Rico in the summer of 2007 to attend a conference headed by Deepak Chopra.  When they returned, they facilitated an evening group discussion wherein we decided to become a part of this alliance.  Each time we met (once a month), we would read a few pages of dedication, commitment and reminders of what this organization and our participation in it meant.  I took these readings to be part of a ritual shared by humans all over the planet.  It was so heart-expanding!  I just loved it.  However, apparently, some thought the readings to be too repetitious and consequently it was decided to drop them.  Within a month or two, the meetings stopped altogether.  Had I been a participant in Common Ground for a longer time, I might have (and now wish that I had) expressed my feelings more strongly than I did that night.  I did make mention of the fact of how awesome it was to be part of such an alliance - to be reminded each time we read the words that others across the planet were doing the same thing - reading the same words.  Still the decision to abandon (perhaps that is too strong a word?) held.  However, at one of the side-bar meetings attended by a few of us, a decision was made to meet at that intersection in Tustin on Tuesday afternoons from 4 to 5PM.  Originally our signs said "Standing in Peace".  One Sunday morning, a couple of months later, there was a one-page ad in the L A Times with the words "Imagine Peace", signed by John Lennon's widow.  I took that page to our service that morning and Rev. Glenda suggested that our signs be changed, and changed they were.
Whew!  What a lot of words simply because I remembered "Alliance for a New Humanity:"!
So, with that, dear, dear readers, I will ask:  How is your day going?  How are you feeling?  What are your hopes and desires for this moment, this very NOW?  What are they asking you to do for you, for your life?  And if you are of such a mind, please share them. 
And, in the meantime, may we all say "Thanks for it all!"
