About

How much of Earth's atmosphere must we contaminate? How much of our lands and waters must we pollute? How much of our resources must we plunder, deplete? How many species must we ravage, despoil, extinguish? How many people must we degrade, deprive, destroy with toxic wastes and wars, before we learn to respect one another, to live in harmony on this planet, our Home? "All living beings are brothers and sisters, nourished from the same source of life.." -- Thich Nhat Hanh

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Brampton, Ontario, Canada

I was born in Eastern Europe during the height of the Stalinist regime's reign of terror. Thus, I know what it is like to live under a repressive, dictatorial regime. The fear and terror -- as dissident friends and family members were tortured, imprisoned and some were executed -- is indelibly etched in my memory. That is the reason I have always been an ardent advocate of freedom, social justice, civil liberties, human rights and a voice of peace. The way I see it, war is morally wrong, regardless of who wages it, for whatever reason. No piece of land or commodity is worth the sacrifice of one human life. We are all members of the same race - the "human race" - and must learn to coexist peacefully. Our planet cannot sustain us much longer if we do not stop our wars, nukes, polluting, deforestation, and the wasteful, gluttonous consumption and depletion of our natural resources.

    New link to my post " Seasons Greetings - Peace and Cairns of Hope"

    Perhaps because I have not yet had the time to switch over to the new version of Blogger, I'm having ongoing posting problems. That may be why the link to my latest post does not work: a 404 Error message comes up saying something about the blog not being found at that URL. So here again is the link to my post: (this should work) Seasons Greetings - Peace and Cairns of Hope.

    http://verbena-19.blogspot.com/2006/12/seasons-greetings-peace-and-cairns-of.html

    Once again, Season's Greetings, Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noel, Feliz Navidad, Kellemes Karácsonyi Ünnepeket és BUÉK, Bon Natale, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Eid, Fröliche Weinnacht, etc., etc. (Please excuse any spelling errors:)


    I will be spending Christmas with my family so will not have time to post much here. Whatever you are doing, enjoy the beauty and spirit of the season, and take care. My best wishes to you and yours.

    Peace, Annamarie
