An angel sweetly dreams of peace.
But will that dream come true?
I guess the truth is simple
Peace is up to me and you.
I would ask my students to collect quotes and bring them in for a deep discussion on the first Friday of the month. The discussions were very powerful and students learned about writing and most importantly why we use quotes and why people feel they need to quote others. Anyway, these are my three of my favorite quotes:
“The antidote for fifty enemies is one friend.”
– Aristotle
“The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.”
– Harper Lee
“A day is a miniature eternity.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

I heard the angels sing
a new Revelation.
Trumpets blasted,
Eternal flame for Peace
Matthew 24:31
“And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.”
Angels dwell in all gardens
their presence will be clear
when the aroma of lavender
surrounds you and you feel free of fear.
Luke 1:9-10
“And behold an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them. Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.”
Angel Pavillion
