So happy to see this featured today. Thank you and bless you! Here is how I used it to spread the light and love to a first wave of family and friends today....

Joy to all in this morning of new hope and light!

My heart is joyful today as I found one of my personal images featured on Carlos Santana's emerging "Architects of a New Dawn" website: http://architectsofanewdawn.ning.com/photo/photo/listFeatured?xg_so...

It is a graphic visualization of the actual stage of growth of the Internet in early 2005, not long after my wife Judith transitioned. Like many NASA and other US Government images, it is available for free and still growing in the Wiki Commons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet I was awed by its beauty and its delicate organic complexity, with threads like gossamer. I saw it as a revelation of the oneness of all humanity and the emerging awareness of our collective consciousness and potential for human development beyond our wildest imaginations.

I felt it was important as a representation of the revolution in human communications taking place to this day through the World Wide Web, one that is combining technology with the human spirit to accelerate our understanding that we are all from the same DNA, one community, one family in a cosmos with billions of brothers and sisters we will soon meet.

I downloaded the image and took it to a photo shop in Bethesda, MD to have it mounted. As I loaded it into their kiosk machine I felt The Spirit guiding me to choose the font you see and the words flowed out spontaneously in a creative act with results that stirred my heart and soul.

I was even more pleased when I saw the 36" x 36" mounted result which you would have seen in my dining room if you visited from 2005 - 2007 just before I relocated to Port Orchard, WA. I felt it was special and wanted so share it. I loved the positive energy flow it created after a time of much darkness and negativity. It was a God-given healing presence that resounds to this day as it sits in our living room here and, now, as it reaches more souls through Carlos' important call to find strength in our common spirit.

I trust you will share my joy upon seeing this, that it helps make your day even a tiny bit more uplifting and positive. I trust further that you will be lifted by the rest of the featured images and feel your own spirit called to be an architect of a better future. Please join us in this neophyte stage of real and virtual community development....re-uniting Spirit and technology after too many years to save the Earth and realize the immense untapped potential of our better angels. We can do it by imagining it, as here, and focusing on love, forgiveness and gratitude.

If you don't feel your spirit connects to this, then please find an alternative means to release all that is good in you. Each and every contribution is immensely valuable and critical at this moment.

From my lifelong brother from Peru Peace Corps, Bob Roberg, I have a precious gift that also hangs on our living room wall. He is an artist and it is a beautiful colored sign he made as we continued working for peace in DC anti-war protests in 2005. It says, "If we are to have a peaceful harvest, we must plant peaceful seeds."

Please become an architect - or farmer! - with us by dedicating yourself to the Golden Rule: treat every single person, especially those most different and threatening, as you wish to be treated yourself. Forgiveness and ego disarmament are the nutrients. Forgive all and ask forgiveness for all. "Love your enemies!"

We still have time to co-create and leverage the critical mass of positive energy to heal the Earth, bring peace and be the real change we want to see. It is up to us, at the grass roots of our homes and communities. This is real Homeland Security!

Let's join our minds, hearts and spirits to Spread the light! Spread the love!

Have a fabulous day and futur
