The flight also carried the grandfather of my author friend,
M.C.V. Egan. Here is my review
her book, Bridge
of Deaths. To commemorate the event
and her commitment to peace, Catalina and Innovative Online Book Tours have organized
a Peace Hop Blitz
today, involving many bloggers from around the world posting about peace. I welcomed the opportunity to participate.
For several days, I have been asking myself what I have to
say about peace. The image comes to mind
of Sandra Bullock's character, in the film Miss
Congeniality, answering her beauty pageant scholarship program interview
question, “If you could have one wish, what would you wish for?” (or something to that effect) with,
“stronger penalties for multiple offenders . . . [dead air] . . . and
world peace.”*
What does that mean?
More importantly, where does it start?
How does it happen? Who do we
blame when it doesn’t?
