I was a little under the weather this morning, so just getting to the Dailies.  If you feel so compelled to stand for our children’s world read the below.

I will be at Memorial Park at 1:00 with many other women from the area.

LETTER TO STANDING WOMEN

Dear Souls who will stand together on May 13 –

The response to our call has now spread throughout the world. This coming Sunday, women (and men) will be standing silently for the sake of the children, on every continent, in over 70 countries, in groups ranging in size from one to thousands. We are in awe of the possibilities for our future.

From the many messages posted at www.standingwomen.org, it is clear that together we are honoring the intent of the original call — to stand as a positive demonstration of our deep impulse to do what we can toward a better future for our children, grandchildren and the seven generations beyond.

As we stand

We acknowledge that we are the ones who can create the positive future we seek; we are not asking that someone else make this future happen.
In silence, we invite our own deep wisdom, so that we may model the kind and gentle world that we seek for our children; in this moment we are not protesting against anything or anyone.
Please know that we received a few messages that expressed disapproval (2) or threatened harm (1 that came through a server in British Columbia, Canada). Wherever you are (because the message could have come from anywhere), we invite you to stand with awareness, drawing upon the strength and wisdom of the mother for the sake of her children.

BUILDING THE MOVEMENT

On Tuesday, May 15, we will be inviting you by email to share your experience of our wave of global silence. Please consider –

Before Sunday

Download and print some “postcards” from http://www.standing women.org/postcards.html to hand out to passers-by.
Call or email your friends to join the stand for a better world.
On Sunday

Count how many people are standing at your location, noticing who they are, and how it feels to be with them.
In follow-up conversations, take note of the visions and actions that arise for you and others.
Bring a camera; take some digital pictures you can upload and share through the web site.
Gather the email addresses of those who would like to participate in an Internet Global Village.
Many of you have expressed the sense that this is a long-awaited moment. We also feel the possibility of our collective grassroots arising.

By sharing our gatherings, our dreams and our possibilities, we will not only inspire one another, but also offer ourselves opportunities for connecting with others — people everywhere who share our deepest impulses to create a better world, both locally and around the world.

With gratitude for each soul, for all of us together,
Those of us who are facilitating the Standing Women Global Village
