The anthology I wrote a chapter for called:
Healing the Heart of the World: Harnessing the Power of Intention to Change Your Life and Your Planet - just won Best Inspirational/Spiritual Book of the Year (2006)( Elite Books, Edited by Dawson Church) from the Independent Book Publisher Awards in Washington, DC - my chapter is called Weaving Cultures of Peace. It is a look at where we have come from with respect to global peace, what still needs doing and the future (the indigo children). It's about my grandfather's brother being within 500 m of the hypocentre of the Hiroshima bomb and surviving along with his family, it's about my family being interned in Canada and my family in the US dropping the bomb on their family in Japan and the process of asking for redress, forgiveness and claiming the wrongdoings of all of our ancestors - so it includes the work I have done on healing my family's errors of ignorance with indigenous peoples here in Canada. The future piece of the chapter speaks about the arrival of the spiritually-gifted children and their gifts and vision.
