Imagine Peace. We all say we want it, but it appears we are helpless to campaign against its alternative. While the world leaders set the stage, the masses remain silent and wait and see.

Imagine if the masses would conspire to celebrate peace on the third Monday of January, also known as the M.L.K. Holiday.

What if, at 12 noon, for one hour on that day, all those persons concerned would voluntarily avoid all motorized transportation. This would show our desire and commitment to peace.

No doubt, this “transportable peace” would cause us much inconvenience. However, it may also remind us of other worldwide human inconveniences starving for our attention and manageable solutions.
