The Peace Poem
There's a name for war and killing
there's a name for giving in
when you know another answer
for me the name is sin
but there's still time to turn around
and make all hatred cease
and give another name to living
and we could call it peace
And peace would be the road we walk
each step along the way
and peace would be the way we work
and peace the way we play
And in all we see that's different
and in all the things we know
peace would be the way we look
and peace the way we grow
There's a name for separation
there's a name for first and last
when it's all for us or nothing
for me the name is past
but there's still time to turn around
and make all hatred cease
and give a name to all the future
and we could call it peace
And if peace is what we pray for
and peace is what we give
then peace will be the way we are
and peace the way we live
Yes there still is the time to turn around
and make all hatred cease
and give another name to living
and we can call it peace

From Livin' Green 2007!-
Thanks to everyone who made this event so successful! We were able to donate $1500 to the Oregon Food Bank and $1,500 to Habitat for Humanity
There will NOT be a Livin' Green Tribute in 2008, but it might return in 2009. Stay tuned!
We represent the Pacific NW Windstar branch of the Windstar Foundation, www.wstar.org. Windstar was founded in 1976 by singer/songwriter and environmentalist John Denver along with Aikido Master Tom Crum. Windstar is a non-profit environmental education organization which promotes a holistic approach to addressing environmental concerns.
In order to honor and celebrate the legacy John left for us,
we are planning two events this year, which, hopefully will become yearly events:
