United We Sing
John
When our dear friend Roselyn was visiting from Australia in December, 2008, I decided to take her for a visit to our old property in Peria Valley, 20 minutes from the beach where we live today. Between 1998 and 2002 we had developed this productive and fruitful (avocadoes, citrus, tamarillos, casimiroas and perhaps 30 other kinds of fruiting trees) 2 acres into a health center we called Angels' Way Retreat. We offered workshops and classes and had two retreat huts in addition to our home. Somewhat reluctantly we sold that property to finance an open-ended overseas trip that culminated with our family living in the Netherlands until 2004.
United We Sing is a poem that came through me one night in 2003 at the time we were recording a few of my peace songs in Hoorn in Noord Holland. I believe it should appeal to anyone wishing for peace in the world. Acting collectively we can bring about a transformation in human consciousness and recognize the inevitability of World Peace. As I ask in the movie, do we want it now or do we want it later? It's up to us. The poem is found in the epilogue of my book, In Search of Simplicity: A True Story that Changes Lives. To read the complete epilogue visit here.
Incidentally, Angel's Way Retreat was purchased by people who own an ashram in New Plymouth and they've turned it into another ashram visited by people from all over New Zealand. It warms my heart to see this special property being appreciated in this way.

Beautiful indeed John -and YES -we do want Peace NOW!
May peace be in our minds and hearts and may we all sing one song LOUDLY in unity and love
To share in such a unity is on my t’do list, this is for certain. To see and feel the love is what we all benefit from.
Your an amazing and beautiful human being, John…..Blessings to you and all your sharings of heart.
God speed to one and all in this movement to world peace and may true love enrich this soulful doer of such divine class.

Thank you all. Peace is our common wish is it not? Thank you Nicole, for the crossposting. I will check it out.
Thank you Sandy. Now sounds great to me.
Tai, I hear hear you singing. What I find amazing is that when we all sing together we are so in tune, no matter how tuneful each individual is.
Rita, your words are felt in my heart. Thank you so much.
And Meenakshi, thank you for spreading the word, as you do so very well.
