Twice a year in June and November all over the blogosphere and around the world, we bloggers try to nudge the world just a little with a few words. The words are "Dona Nobis Pacem" - Grant Us Peace. These words have no party, no political stance, no sides taken, just one ardent wish for the whole of humanity: Dona Nobis Pacem.
The Peace Globe project began in the fall of 2006 with a simple post from one blog, Mimi Writes. The post ignited a flame in the blogosphere. The flame became a passion. The passion became a movement. It amazingly traveled from blog to blog to blog across the globe. Bloggers wrote passionate articles on what peace means to them, along with the promise of three Latin words scribbled on a globe - Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace) - branded with the integrity of their names or blog names. It was positively inspiring to watch. And it began to happen all over the world - from Singapore to China to Afghanistan to Brooklyn.
It was simple. And powerful.
In less than three weeks bloggers from all across the globe will blog for peace. We will speak with one voice. One subject. One day.
