    Hi Shrads,

    hits home, this rendition of the prompt, anywhere else in the world, we need peace, but in some places, it’s just as elusive…

    i emailed you already my code for my signature name…got it now?

    This is a nice acrostic and doubly because it goes along with blogging for peace. I am not participating but am doing some reading around.
    I am an old hippie type, we couldn’t get peace and I really don’t think the weaker efforts of the bloggers will either.
    My opinion. :-)
