DAY 1, SNV: "MAY I USE WORDS OF LOVE"

May I Use Words Of Love (Janis Kelly, @ 2007)

May I use words of love and light and healing;
May they reflect the oneness of all life;
May they express the joy and wonder of my heart’s own path;
And may they build a bridge of peace, that reaches ‘round the world.

May I be guided by compassion in my speaking;
May I be generous and brave and true;
May I maintain integrity in all I say and do;
And may I build a bridge of peace, that reaches ‘round the world.

Let my voice—be a blessing; to all who are yearning
For hope and for comfort and for strength!

May I stand for dignity and honor;
May I accept my neighbor as myself;
May I choose to recognize the sacredness of Now;
And may I build a bridge of peace, that reaches ‘round the world.

JANUARY 30, 2010: THE 13TH ANNUAL "SEASON FOR NONVIOLENCE"

Greetings, family!

The 13th annual "Season For Nonviolence" is upon us again. A season for Nonviolence, January 30 - April 4, is a national 64-day educational, media, and grassroots campaign dedicated to demonstrating that nonviolence is a powerful way to heal, transform, and empower our lives and our communities. Inspired by the 50th and 30th memorial anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., this international event honors their vision for an empowered, nonviolent world. For more information, please visit http://www.seasonsfornonviolence.com/.

My commitment this year is to choose a "song of the day," from among my original compositions, posting its lyrics to my blog and singing/playing it throughout the day, both alone and with my students and fellow musicians.

I am also committed to performing in public at least once per week, in honor of the SNV, be it at an open mic or a professional engagement and I will post these appearances to my calendar.

Finally, I will continue to host my monthly "Peace Through Music" gatherings and will make a concerted effort to post video footage to my Youtube account.

So, thanks for coming along for the ride, and have a wonderful season!

In Harmony,

Janis

Like the flowers that bloom in springtime;
I wish you beauty from a place Divine (yeah)!

And I wish you love;
The kind that satisfies your heart and soul;
Like the promise of love's first embrace;
I hope your life is filled with joy and grace;
I hope it's nothing but:

Good, good, good-good, good, good, good!
Good, good, good-good, good (GOOD!);
Good, good, good-good, good, good, good!
