“You are the peace other people need.”

– Barbara Gaughen-Muller

Barbara’s Peace Garden Honoring

Peace Pilgrim, who walked 25,000 miles for peace.

“All people can be peace workers.

Whenever you bring harmony into any unpeaceful situation, you contribute to the total peace picture.

Insofar as you have peace in your life, you reflect it into your surroundings and into your world.”

“One of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.”

“Because of our preoccupation with materialism, we often miss the best things in life which are free.”

Peace Pilgrim's vow: "I shall remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace, walking until I am given shelter and fasting until I am given food."

What is your peace dream for 2022?

… people creating a more peaceful world

“My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.”

– Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Publisher’s Corner Barbara Gaughen-Muller is a peace activist, educator, and Peace Podcast host.

Peace Corner - a place to be peaceful.

CONTENTS n today’s world, we need peace in every corner of our lives.

It reminds me of a little girl in a Montessori school who asked me what she could do for peace. We decided to make a place where anyone could go and think calm, peaceful thoughts. We chose a corner, where we could have a comfortable chair and a map of the world. We put the words Peace Corner on the wall and added a candle, art supplies, books and, later, even a cat!

Now there are 4,000 peace corners around the world to stimulate and inspire peace.

Peace begins with you in the quiet moments. Does your home have a peace corner?

– Gratefully,

Barbara

Women Peacemakers Need To Take The Stage It’s past time for women to get on the world stage. Women are the peacemakers our world needs now.

As the crisis in Ukraine unfolds, with a massive invasion by Russia, women are taking up arms to defend their homes and communities. Yet, we wonder, if women of Ukraine and Russia met with each other, wouldn’t they turn to each other and say, “we don’t want our sons to die. Let’s not do this.”

In 500 BC, Aristophanes produced the Lysistrata, a smash hit comedy in the height of the ancient Hellenistic era. The idea was simple, yet absurd: Athens and Sparta are continually at war. It’s dragged on for ages.

No clear victory is in sight. Treasuries are depleted. The women are fed up. So Lysistrata, an Athenian woman, organized a secret meeting with women from both cities, and proposed a way to stop the endless wars: a sex strike. No woman was to have sexual relations with her husband until they agreed to stop the fighting.

The women struggled with this concept, but eventually agreed. Then the comedy unfolds to show how men were eventually crippled by the sex strike and agreed to stop fighting.

While this is an ancient comedic example of how women can wage peace, you can easily see how women think differently, and could offer a great deal in peacemaking.

Sahtouris on her return trip from a two-year sabbatical in Peru. She was studying the human reality of how we are all connected.

“As she was getting ready to leave, she had her last visit with a woman elder in the village, who was often sought out for her wisdom, ideas and solutions to community problems.

Elizabeth decided to ask her one last question …”

‘How would you run the world?

How would that look?’

She replied: “I’d run the world like a family with love and security, nurturing their individual gifts and letting our children know that they also have a duty to the community and a goal to keep our world at peace which is essential for our human survival.

“I would give them a sense of courage and compassion.”

Women Peacemakers In Action

The Dali Lama said, ”our world will be saved by a woman leader.” We agree! During the Pandemic, we saw that the female-led countries of New Zealand, Germany, Finland, and Slovakia weathered the crisis better than their male counterparts. Why? Because women don’t leave anyone behind.

Barbara, who traveled the world with her late husband Robert Muller, former UN Assistant Secretary-General, meeting with world leaders, heads of state, authors and scientists, states, “I’ll never forget our meeting with evolutionarily biologist Elizabet 4

UN Resolution 1325 reaffirms the important role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts, peace negotiations, peace-building, peacekeeping, humanitarian response and in post-conflict reconstruction and called for increased participation of women.

Right now, our hearts are with women in Ukraine, Cameroon, Sudan and all areas of the world facing armed conflict, where women are in the most danger. Women all over the world are rising as peacemakers.

… people creating a more peaceful world Boy soldiers will happily put their guns down to play football. When girls join the game, they become leaders from the first time they kick the ball.

Her challenge: up your game, whatever you’re doing. Achieve and conquer – it’s possible.

Resolution 1325 CAN Happen. Are you on the sidelines, cheering, or are you in the game?

You only have one life to live, and there’s no rehearsal. Go out and do what you feel you must, and forget fear.

Adan, a lawyer and peace activist, uses football (because she loves it) to include people, and she has this amazing tagline: Shoot to score, not to kill.

Fatuma says this initiative was born out of frustration because women’s voices were not being heard, after the 2005 massacre in Masaba where 100 children were killed in school.

“A ball can silence the guns. We can’t stop the manufacture of guns. But the minute they see a ball, they want to put down the guns and play. Even among fighting clans. The passion is so high for football. So a simple idea, like playing football, can bring people who want to fight, together.”

In 200+ villages in Kenya, women congregate under the tree (a site of decision-making) to help make decisions on conflict, security, and gender mutilation. This is huge, to have women participate in the decision-making process. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has repeatedly called for this. Now, one Kenyan village is literally ruled by women, something inconceivable until recently.

Fatuma thought she’d never see girls in shorts and hijabs, carrying footballs out to play.

In 2012, she lost the entire team because they were kidnapped for marriage.

However, in the World Cup of 2018, the team went to the Euro Championship, for the first time ever.

In January 2011, Adan received the Stuttgart Peace Prize for "combining soccer and emancipation."

peace … please

"and then war came ..." spoken by a child, simply like sunrise like rain and then war came ..." from the heavens from the earth from the very air "and then war came ..." buildings fell down people died I was hungry "and then war came ..." songs stopped books burned rivers ran red "and then war came ..." and the child was gone.

Prophet is a reminder to every reader why war does not work– and offers a path to a better way.” – Mary Manin Morrissey, author of Building Your Field of Dreams and No Less Than Greatness “Robert Muller has had a very large, positive influence on me. He has a wonderful, global outlook and a loving, kind-hearted attitude of forgiveness and understanding and patience.

I have great admiration and respect for him.

He’s one of the greatest men to come along in a long time” – Ted Turner, AOL TimeWarner “Robert Muller has seen our species at our worst and still ebulliently believes in our best.

In his presence, you want to rise and rise and rise again to whatever occasion is before you.

He is a global treasure–and so will you be if you let his spirit enter your life. I did … and look what happened!” – Vicki Robin, coauthor of Your Money or Your Life “When the true history of the Twentieth Century is told, Robert Muller’s name will stand out as one of the greatest world servers of all time.

Sarajevo Peace Conference to create healing between families who had killed each other in the civil war, at Parkland, Florida, after the massacre at Margery Stoneman Douglas High School, in Northern California to help families who had suffered wild fires, and in Marin County, CA, after the election of 2016.

The Singing Tree Project In 1999, a young girl asked, “What if the whole world made a painting together?”

That question launched The Singing Tree project which to date has involved 21,000 people from 52 countries creating a forest of over 100 Singing Tree murals. The artist and founder of this project is Laurie Marshall, who has been empowering youth and adults through creative collaboration for 35 years. Laurie says, “Meredith Miller’s question and vision of the world creating together answered a deep longing I had all my life for a peaceful world.”

The Singing Tree process is a collective way for feelings to be expressed and stories to be shared - a necessary step in healing and making way for a positive future. The whole world is invited. If you are interested in bringing a Singing Tree to your community or to become a Singing Tree facilitator, contact: Laurie@UnityThroughCreativity.org, 415-612-0401.

Laurie founded the Unity Through Creativity Foundation as a way to bring people together and heal communities through a shared artistic creation, working under a vision to use the arts, inspired by the collaboration and creativity found in Nature in order to envision a positive future and spark innovative actions.

After making The Singing Tree of Climate Solutions with 350 students at Ukiah High School (California), one of the students said, “If we can make this amazing painting together in 12 days, I have more confidence that we can deal with the challenge of climate change.”

The Singing Trees

A story from a book for children gave Laurie the seed of the idea for her mural project. This is the story: “During a long and terrible night in the middle of World War I, soldiers crawled for hours on their bellies to escape the enemy.

Everything in their path had been destroyed by the shells, bullets, and violence of war. They didn’t come across any evidence of life - not a house, person, squirrel, bird, tree, or bush.

When the dawn came, they saw that one tree was still alive. Birds from hundreds of miles away who don’t normally come together, were in the tree singing.”

Laurie says, “I see our planet as the Singing of our solar system.”

Spring for Ukraine a grandmother carries her old dog into exile, a man puts on a heavy mantle of leadership, 13 Davids stand up to a Goliath warship, a pianist plays a last song amidst the rubble, a farmer pulls a tank away from a battle scene, mothers carry their children into a foreign country, fathers cry as they put their families on trains, a little girl stands and sings to refugees in a basement, a convoy of enemy tanks, forty miles long, halted, a pregnant mother and baby die when a bomb hits, teenagers with skateboard kneepads march off to war, a BMW convertible mounted with a machine gun sits, driver ready, Mariupol: 400,000 children, women, men, no food, water, electricity, how many still live?

I awake to an almost spring day in a warm bed, gratitude spreads like the morning light momentarily softening the horror that we're doing this again!

In passing …

We celebrate the lives of these beloved peace makers: Desmond Tutu, South African Theologian, December 26, 2021

Thich Nhat Hahn, Vietnamese Thiền Buddhist monk, January 22, 2022

Veronica Pelicaric, non-violence activist with Pace e Bene, February 21, 2022 Robert Muller’s book Most of All They Taught Me Happiness, concludes with these thoughts: “As for myself, when the moment will come to close my eyes on this beautiful planet, my heart will thank and honor all those who gave life and the warmth of love, and Him who permitted me to devote my earthly sojourn to peace, justice, and the betterment of the human condition in one of the noblest organizations ever born from the heart of man. I will go in peace and joy, thankful for having been blessed with the miracle of life.

I will have loved my life with passion, 18

embraced it with fervor, cherished every single moment of it. I will have contemplated with wonder the sky and its running clouds, my brethren the humans, my sisters the flowers and the stars. I will have feasted unceasingly on the treasure of life in all its forms. I will not have dwelled in mediocre ambitions, vain hatred, and useless complaints.

I will depart with the belief that there is no end to the flow of life in the universe, that there is no death but only an unceasing change of worlds.

My conclusion would therefore be: • Decide to be happy • Render others happy • Proclaim your joy • Love passionately your miraculous life • Do not listen to promises • Do not wait for a better world • Be grateful for every moment of life • Switch on, and keep on, the positive buttons in yourself, those marked: optimism, serenity, confidence, positive thinking, love • Pray and thank God every day • Meditate • Smile, laugh, whistle, sing, dance • Look with fascination at everything • Fill your lungs and heart with liberty • Be yourself fully and immensely • Act like a king unto Death • Feel God in your body, mind, heart, and soul • And be convinced of eternal life and resurrection Enjoy peace podcasts on PeacePodcast.org
