Michael Lesnick, is a Peacebuilder, often behind the scenes of the famous people like John Denver. Listen as Mike shares his story of how saying YES with enthusiasm changed his life. First to John Denver’s invitation to help at John’s Hollywood Bowl concert, then accepting the Presidency of the CA John Denver Fan Club and finally to join the the world-famous Windstar Symposium in Colorado which led him in 1986 to hear Robert Muller’s keynote speech. He recalls Robert’s simple yet powerful ideas for peace:
* Make Peace a priority
* Visualize peace in all you do
* Have courage to live your daily life in Peace
* Use your individual gifts and your power for Peace
* Dare to be great for Peace
As Robert said at this symposium, “It’s incredible what one human can do for peace”. So when you ask, “ What can I do for peace?” Know what you think and always have the courage to say it, write it, blog it and Decide to be Peace.
Michael’s Podcast, will inspire you to take action and strengthen your “muscle for peace”. After our inspiring conversation Michael emailed John Denver’s Peace Poem:
The Peace Poem
John Denver
There’s a name for war and killing
There’s a name for giving in
When you know another answer
For me the name is sin
But there’s still time to turn around
And make all hatred cease
And give another name to living
And we could call it peace
And peace would be the road we walk
Each step along the way
And peace would be the way we work
And peace the way we play…..
