Hi all,
Have just received a newsletter from Earth Charter International that should appeal to the Global Oneness Project. Here's a copy paste from the website:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Peace comes within the souls of [humans] when they realize their oneness with the universe.” - Black Elk, Oglala
Earth Charter International invites you to reflect upon moments when you have suddenly felt a deep sense of oneness or connection in your life. We are gathering personal stories and photos from every region of the world, and will publish selected submissions in a book, to be released internationally in 2009. Through this project, our vision is to celebrate the unity and diversity of connections that bind us together, and reaffirm our common purpose of creating a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world.
Human existence is full of moments of connection that transcend our separate realities – the barriers that divide us from each other and the Earth – and reveal a common oneness…often when we least expect it. These moments are crucial to our hope and work for a better world. This project was born out of a firm belief in both the power of stories to shape the world we live in, and the core importance of moments of deep connection to our sense of shared responsibility, care, and belonging in one Earth community. Amidst the daily onslaught of stories that further division, it is our hope to share moments of connection that bring us closer together and foster a common vision of a better world. Please share with us your voice, your images, and your inspiration!
The Question
The question we are inviting you to respond to has two parts: When have you experienced moments of unexpected connection or oneness in your life, and how has this feeling inspired and sustained your vision, hope, and action for a better world?
What are we looking for?
Stories and photos from your personal experience that speak to or convey unexpected moments of connection. This connection could be with anything that has inspired in you a feeling of oneness – with a culture, a stranger, a mountain, a community, or a passing butterfly. These may stem from experiences of the everyday or the extraordinary, from a random encounter that expanded your sense of connection to a defining revelation in your life. Ultimately, we want to hear about those moments of connection that have had a meaningful impact on your everyday life.
We are particularly looking for submissions from a great diversity of ages, cultures, religions, and walks of life. We therefore also welcome submissions that unearth the story of someone whose voice might not otherwise be heard, due to such barriers as language or technology. Please see the general guidelines for further details.
