Hi Georgios,

The hymn is just beautiful.  That is a very impactful video with so much wonderful talent.

What an incredible poem by an 8 year old 'PEACE IS."  There is no doubt the children in this world have been sent to help us all.......it is truly amazing  :-)

Here is another one on peace I just love:

 

The Spirit Of Giving

The truth about giving is we don't need a special day,  holiday or time of year to be kind to others. 

The very act of giving itself  "creates" a special, memorable day in Life.

The truest essence of  "Treasures" may well be found in the simple act of a Poet and a Princess (the most beautiful Princess in all the land) who gave a man and woman a precious moment of kindness.   Just time enough to care for one another,  time enough to feast and learn together - just time enough to change a man and a woman's  less than abundant life forever.

In so doing, Dignity and Hope were restored to the man and the woman and The Joy of Creation filled The Poet, Magister, and Princess Mayya's hearts and minds.

Knowing this we might wonder then: Who received the greater gift, the man and the woman or The Poet and The Princess? 

The Spirit of Giving must never be allowed to fall to the level of a slogan on the back of a greeting card.  It must be restored to its rightful place in life, among all cultures and people that make up Mankind.

Embrace that Spirit, lift it higher and higher in the order of important things.  And one does not advance toward more expensive birthday presents or more gold and diamond things to celebrate the seasons.  We advance toward a far more worthy objective, distant and sometimes unreachable though it may seem at times.  We advance toward Peace on Earth - one man, one woman, one child, one act of kindness, one pure act of "giving" as we go.   E.
