Gaia Quotations for Change

Today, I was honored to find out that one of my quotations from Gaia.com was used in the brochure of a Duluth, Minnesota organization helping people who are being abused. The same quote was used in the online Times of India and several blogs. Others were used in the web profile of a peace activist and one was used in a nonprofit catalog supporting public television.
So, I want to thank Gaia.com for not merely helping us chatter among ourselves, but for empowering deeper content with wonderful tools necessary to help move our culture forward along the path of peace, justice and sustainability.
The ripples of Gaia.com do move outwards across the Internet, so let's consciously use this wonderful resource to become the change we seek - both internally and externally. The world can, indeed, change.
Where do your healing words turn up once you send them out in an electronic bottle 0n the Internet's sea of information? Here's where some of mine went:
(The brochure of a nonprofit in Duluth, MN fighting domestic abuse)

India (An editorial on peace and tolerance in the Times of India)

New Zealand (Final paragraph of a Maori Party leader's speech)

That is FANTASTIC, Aeron! Congrats! Why not come celebrate and post your worthy, world healing quote at the party where we are grooving it up? http://maryrives.gaia.com/blog/2009/2/anniversary_party
I am so glad it is being used for people in recovery from abuse. Just too much of that going on, and I am stunned at how many women are still being killed by their estranged partners. The violence has got to stop!
Thank you for being a part of that!

Thanks, Mary. It was the use of my quote on a pamphlet aimed at fighting abuse that spoke to me most strongly. The rest may have given my ego a boost, but the abuse issue is close to my heart, so it made me feel very good for my words to find a home where they could help support people working on that issue.
Peace,
Earon
