The Fifth Launch! Dona Nobis Pacem in the blogosphere is upon us again. These three Latin words which literally translate “Grant Us Peace” have become a mantra for an incredible dialogue and exchange of ideas that happens twice a year.

Dona nobis pacem is not just for the blog galaxy – it is for my everyday life

In June Mimiwrites began a Revolution of Words.

Now, In November 2008 she continues aiming to extend the revolution and begin an evolution.

“one in which the power of our words manifests intrinsic change and expands our compassion for and understanding of people everywhere,
dictates a respect for diversity,
and calls me – and my neighbors -
to a place of peace.
That is the hope I have for myself. It is my hope for you.
If words are powerful….then this matters.”

So hurry – visit the site and grab your peace globe – On November 6, 2008 bloggers from all across the globe will blog for peace – speaking with one voice on one subject on this one day.

How To Get Your Peace Globe

“Man invents war. Man discovers peace.
He invents war from without.
He discovers peace from within.
War man throws. Peace man sows.
The smile of war is the flood of human blood.
The smile of peace is the love, below, above.”

A HUMAN MANIFESTO

Human life on our planet is in jeopardy.

It is in jeopardy from war that could pulverize the human habitat.

It is in jeopardy from preparations for war that destroy or diminish the prospects of decent existence.

It is in jeopardy because of the denial of human rights.

It is in jeopardy because the air is being fouled and the waters and soil are being poisoned.

It is in jeopardy because of the uncontrolled increase in population.

If these dangers are to be removed and if human development is to be assured, we the peoples of this planet must accept obligations to each other and to thee generations of human beings to come.

We have the obligation to free our world of war by creating an enduring basis for world peace.

We have the obligation to safeguard the delicate balances of the natural environment and to develop the world’s resources for the common good.

We have the obligation to place the human interest, and human sovereignty above national sovereignty.

We have the obligation to make human rights the primary concern of society.

We have the obligation to create a world order in which man neither has to kill or be killed.

In order to carry out these obligations, we the peoples of this world assert our primary allegiance to each other in the family of man.

We declare our individual citizenship to the world community and our support for a United Nations capable of governing our planet in the common human interest.

The world belongs to the people who inhabit it. We have the right to change it, shape it, nurture it.

Life in the universe is unimaginably rare. It must be be protected, respected, cherished.

We pledge our energies and resources of spirit to the preservation of the human habitat and to the infinite possibilities of human betterment in our time.
