Perhaps we should take down the national Christmas tree and plant a giant peace tree instead... Thousands of white doves with olive branches staring down on DC might just shame some of the politician puppets into demanding an end to arming the genocides worldwide. Worth a shot. Happy holidays all!
Let's do it! We need to plant Peace trees and not simply chop Christmas trees down year after year... But I'm not sure any of the politicos will ever feel any shame. We could let the pigeons send them a sticky message or two, though!
Thank you for all you do to spread important messages that the world needs to hear .This was the perfect seasonal post for me..You captured all that matters
Happy holidays, Beth! I like that idea of planting native species and dedicating it to world peace. We recently moved a Freeman's Maple sapling from one part of our garden to another (where it should have more room to grow) and it's doing well. Definitely every state should have a "state bird of peace". I knew I should have moved a few miles north!
The Peace Tree is a brilliant idea!
Thanks! I just can't let a tree go undecorated--and sending a message of Peace on Earth at the same time is good, too. ;)
Absolutely!

Yes. And it is highly contagious.
There's an indigenous concept that applies: "Wetiko"
Here is an amazing explanation of the Wetiko "mind virus" ... "Understanding and Conquering The Mind Parasite (Wetiko)"

I've heard of wetiko. It's definitely a thing in Western culture. We need a cure for it asap and spread it far and wide. Thanks for the link.
Empire works the same way around the world. Love the title of the book.
All the best to you and yours C.A. Wishing for a safe and peaceful world for all. ❤️🕊,Dx
The same to you and yours, Dx. We need peace on Earth, goodwill to all, more than ever!
