Dona Nobis Pacem – BlogBlast for Peace

posted by Babs on Thursday, 5 November 2009

Every time I do Blog Blast for Peace I think of a song I used to listen to, back in the early seventies. I haven’t been able to find it on YouTube.  This year I managed to get hold of an mp3 of it.  It’s written and sung by Tom Paxton and says it all really.   As most of you know, it’s been a hard time for me to think about blogging lately but I didn’t want to miss this day.

I put this little movie together at the last minute.

    That’s a beautiful song Babs and takes me back to the time when peace meant such a lot to so many ordinary people. Not only peace between Nations, but between neighbours and fellow workers and strangers in the street. Thank you for that little piece of peace X

    That was a great song, and I love the animated Peace Globe. The best part of this event is seeing the creativity and the thoughts around such a great idea. Thanks for sharing, Babs.

    And I’ve had my own struggles with blogging lately. I’m glad you decided to participate.

    Oh, wow. Beautiful. I’m so glad I saw someone mention in the comments that you’re good with the “techie stuff,” because I didn’t realize at first this was a video. I hit “play” then scrolled down to listen to the song.

    Babs:

    I love the song. But the movie you put together is really impressive. You certainly have talent for that sort of thing. Something, I’m afraid, that I am sadly lacking.

    Happy trails.

    That particular aspect of peace, that it has to start within, is so very true. Last minute or not – great post!
