Standing Women

Standing Women Please stand with us for five minutes of silence on Sunday, May 13, at 1 p.m. in Riverhead on the riverfront behind Main Street towards where Sears used to be to signify your agreement with the statement below. We ask you to invite the men who you care about to join you. We ask that you bring bells to ring at 1 p.m. to signify the beginning of the five minutes of silence and to ring again to signify the end of the period of silence. During the silence, please think about what you individually and we collectively can do to attain this world. If you need to sit rather than stand, please feel free to do so. Afterwards, hopefully you and your loved ones can talk together about how we can bring about this world.

"We are standing for the world’s children and grandchildren, and for the seven generations beyond them.
We dream of a world where all of our children have safe drinking water, clean air to breathe, and enough food to eat.
A world where they have access to a basic education to develop their minds and healthcare to nurture their growing bodies.
A world where they have a warm, safe and loving place to call home.
A world where they don’t live in fear of violence – in their home, in their neighborhood, in their school or in their world.This is the world of which we dream.This is the cause for which we stand."

I can't imagine anyone not choosing this future vision for their children and grandchildren. I believe what sets this event apart from others is that it keys in on the power of many people gathering to focus on the solution rather than the problem or placing blame. Anyone want to help? All you need to do is help spread the word by email or any other way you want. I'm going to send out an email blast. This is not an anti-war protest! This is a "positive future manifestation/visualization." I hope you will join me, either at the river or wherever you happen to be that day at that time!

This is scary for me...I've never done anything like this before. Any support/kind words/handholding would be really appreciated!! :)
