Just received this inspiring e-mail I'd like to share.

The letter is from Susan Skog. Her new book is Peace in our Lifetime,
Insight from the World's Peacemakers, prefaced by Thich Nhat Hanh.
She is very committed to creating a peaceful world, and sees step one
as the election of John Kerry.

Dear friends,

With only six weeks before the Presidential election, I feel compelled to share this idea. I am an author, activist, and former science writer. I enjoy the intersection of physics and culture - never more obvious than this fall. And what today's most sage scientists are saying is that when we focus on something, we attract more of it. So with only six weeks left, we need to focus on what we really,really want. Let's join together in the "60 Seconds a Day for 6 Weeks Campaign."
To turn the tide now, we need to do something unstoppable. We need a
critical mass of us to stop railing against what is and reach for what we want. What do we want? We want John Kerry as our next President. Give up focusing on George Bush. We don't have to agree with him or support him in any fashion. Instead, we have to turn our thoughts now to something greater. We have to do something unstoppable. In the legacy of Einstein and all great thinkers, we have to harness the power of our thoughts to get the outcome we desire in November.
If only 3 percent of the U.S. population takes 60 seconds to do this
exercise every day, we can make a massive difference. Here's how:
for 60 seconds each day visualize John Kerry elected as our next
President. See the celebrations and excitement and sense of
fulfillment all across America. See yourself rejoicing with people
in your home, neighborhood, and workplace. See us all rejoicing with
people all over the world! See John Kerry being sworn into office.
Feel the hope, joy, and gratitude. Feel it in your hearts. Know that
it is possible and that you are "seeing" things as they will be.
Now, imagine John Kerry restoring greater well-being in America. See
people streaming back to work. See young children getting the support
they need. Visualize our teachers, police officers, single mothers,
the mentally ill, and many others getting the help they deserve. See our soldiers coming home to their families. Imagine our leaders
establishing greater trust and good will with other nations. See peace spreading across the world. See the Iraq conflict ending. Feel how good it will be for the environment to be protected and renewed. See hope rising across the world in the hearts and souls of all of us. See these pictures in your mind for 60 seconds everyday between now and November. Be grateful that you have the gift of participating in shaping a greater country. Be grateful that you care. Know that all this and MORE,is possible! And be sure to vote!

In peace, Susan Skog
