| Holy wow! Every day I wake up to MORE OWS Movements!! |
|
I shared with my kids the events in Boston last night, and it led to us looking up the Meetup page for Occupy together... Almost 1500 cities, and the movement is WORLDWIDE!! :bounce:
I am so impressed, moved, excited and awed. This is like watching humanity achieve critical mass...we are doing this peacefully, and finding our inner sense of UNITY as People of this Planet!
My kids were wondering if it was against the govt. but when we looked at the world map, i told them it wasn't about just ONE govt...it is about the banking system and the money systems of the world who are promoting ecological disaster and human indifference for profit. Now what's really awesome, is that my 8 & 9 yr old "get it"...
we are creating a new world, and I am excited to lend whatever support i can to this movement for a better future!:grouphug:
in Peaceful Solidarity...

I'd be there if I could, right now all I can do is send warm clothes and socks...
but I am teaching the kids that the best we can do is keep 'sending' peaceful vibes and strength to all the occupiers and hope that the wave of good energy and will of us all can help the cause... :D
