ReplyDeleteThank you for all the light you bring,

Thankyou for the definition of Peace Nick. Sometimes we need reminding because it seems so elusive. x
ReplyDeleteMy daughter watched with me, she said:
ReplyDelete"The animals civilized the war helmets."
May we find Peace, soon.
Thank you, Nick.
That is a wonderful video. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePeace to the world, to you, and of course to Alex.
I think I shall use it interjectionally with my bloody Government...
ReplyDeleteWonderful post. I love the cartoon. They captured the look, feel, and sound of the old cartoons. But we know they'd never have told this story back then.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I'm with Squirl on the video. It's a lovely story.
ReplyDeletePeace, Saintly Nick!
Thanks for the video.
ReplyDeletePeace to you, Nick.
I find much peace in knowing that there are so many people, like you, who have a vision of kindness, compassion and the end of war. May we realize that vision before we kill the last prairie dog, bird of prey, or human.
We are one planet!
ReplyDeletePeace to all.
Wow. I never stopped to think that it had all those meanings.
ReplyDeleteHm. A new cartoon that's supposed to look old? Now I'm intrigued! I wonder why it's not loading?
Wait, no.. I saw it, and it's definitely 1939! This was just after the beginning of World War II! Say, wasn't Hitler a vegetarian? (Look at the flags.)
ReplyDeleteIf only we could really have peace....
ReplyDeleteNick, Peace on Earth and good will towards men. Great post and video. Thank you so much. Blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, sir, for the meaningful post.
