Yes, I know it would take a long time.
But it would be worth it.
And then I would tell you to cast your eyes outward and tell me what you see.
And tell me what you hear.
And tell me your hopes and your dreams that didn't involve possession or theft or anger or self-righteousness or hurting anyone else.
We could put an end to all of it now, couldn't we?
That's a lovely spot. It would be worth it, yes. But unfortunately there will be those who interpret "put an end to all of it" somewhat differently.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, if only all those intent on waging war against each other could just sit quietly together on a peace bench. If only....
ReplyDeleteWe could indeed.
ReplyDeleteNot so much a comment as a question that I ask myself.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about being in water,sitting on a bench looking at water that brings on a feeling of peacefulness unfailingly?
Oh YES! We certainly could!
ReplyDeleteI'm in !
ReplyDeleteFar away the same waves you see will eventually wash up on my shores in Orkney. On a pebbly beach hopes and dreams of peace, truth and light will once more be sent across the ocean - and there may just be nothing to prevent a power of tremendous proportions.
ReplyDeletecan I come :)
ReplyDeleteThat'd work, WWW, and especially on your "denim days".
ReplyDeletePeacefulness would come to anybody's mind who sat there but maybe they would refuse to because of that. Some people are determined to wage war. It's in their nature.
ReplyDeleteStan:
ReplyDeleteOh I hope not!
Nick:
Yes I can see it clearly.
SAW:
Imagine. As per John Lennon

Irene:
Driven by the big old military-industrial machine and our tax dollars. But one never knows. It has never been the answer.

Oh so true! Reminds me of benches where I've sat along the Pacific totally absorbed by the peaceful atmosphere, mesmerized by an occasionally surfacing whale.
ReplyDeleteI'm in! And you can come to our shores and see the same seas lapping on the coastline of New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteIf only everyone could get the same sense of peace from sitting by the water and looking out at the waves.
