IT’S A TRUCEFUL MOVEMENT

It’s a spirit

of goodwill,

that moved warring

but wise ancients

to lay down their arms

and aggressions,

for an Olympic ideal.

A spirit of greater humanity,

unity, that moves countries

and multitudes to come together,

freely, safely, to compete and spectate.

To celebrate, and elevate.

It’s a spirit of trucefulness,

within mindful, heartful men,

women. That moves them,

every day, to seek and find

and feel peace, and harmony,

with each other, and

with the giving Earth.

It’s a living, growing movement

you and everyone you know

can be part of. Can be prime movers

of, inspirers and expanders of.

Let its essence flow through you,

fill, and stir you, too,

to join and live it.

Live in daily trucefulness.
