Maori Language Week...

 'Were we to exchange
Even language learning.
Then like brethren
The people of the world
Would be bound by affection.'

A waka poem written by Emperor Meiji .. that I came across in The Meiji Jingu Temple in Japan.

    "...all the different shades of peace..." and a word that sounds like a moth hovering...Oh lovely....

    If all of us would think about the words we use and choose our words more selectively, it would do much towards realizing our Oneness. Lovely video. Lovely idea.
