Light a Candle for Peace – Reblog from Napkinwriter – Good for any season of the year.
June 26, 2013 by napkinwriter
My granddaughter, Amy, completed her Montessori pre-school education his month. In September, she begins kindergarten in the Richland Public School System.
She is greatly enriched and informed from all her Montessori experiences, and one thing in particular is she loves, loves, loves singing the Montessori Peace song with her classmates in public performances.
She even instructs grandma in the proper wording of the song if grama “slips up” on a word or two.
Ahh, changing the world….even being the change we want to see in the world. This seems like such a monumental thing to many of us.
But truly, it is not. Take this song which is a formation of consciousness and living for the children who attend Montessori. Take all the debate about what can be and what cannot be allowed in public school education.
Take this simple but powerful song. No doctrine or mention of God by any name within it. What would be a reason for keeping it out of any education at the primary level?
There is a place to begin….right in your own place and then spread out over all the world.
Is this too easy?
Montessori Peace Song
Light a candle for peace,
Light a candle for love,
Light a candle that shines,
All the way around the world.
Light a candle for me,
Light a candle for you,
That our wish for world peace,
Will one day come true
