世界和平宣言
A Call For World Peace
发发发发发发——发发 世界和平 展 盟 的 人宏 泰
By Hong Tai, World Peace Development League

词词 和平，是一个恢弘又微小的
Peace, a grandeur and granular word

Peace, a near and far state
词 有 和平的人，感受不到和平的重量
People who have peace cannot feel its weight
词词词词词词词词 但失去和平的人，将它 作遥不可及的梦
But those who lose peace see it as an unreachable dream

如果可以，我希望世界上不再有人感受痛失和平的沉重
If I can, I hope no one on earth would ever feel the heavy weight of losing it
词词词 如果可以，我希望和平只是一个美好的
If I can, I hope peace is just a beautiful word of compliment
如果可以，我希望和平就像一个健康之人的体魄
If I can, I hope peace is like the body of a healthy person
—— 筑起世界上每一个人的精神
— Holding up the spirit of everyone in the world
—— 滋养世界上每一个人的灵魂
— Nurturing the soul for each of us on earth

A Call for World Peace By Master Hong TAI

Peace is a magnificent word but also tiny
Peace is a state of both near and far.
People who live in peace cannot feel its weight.
But those who lost peace see it as an unreachable dream.

If I can, I hope that no one in the world have to
bear the heaviness of lost peace.
If I can, I hope peace is like a body of a healthy human being.
Building the spirit of everyone in the world and
Nourishing their longing soul.

Peace should not be the magic wand of conspirators.
Peace should not be left in the dream of war.
Peace should be cherished by everyone.
Peace should become a pursuit and a belief,
A belief in or human self-salvation.

our Chaotic world needs peace.
Peace is a neutral and great voice.
She represents the interests of all.
she embraces all beliefs and carries them all.
She will be transformed into a variety of voices.
And these voices will eventually be attributed to peace
Because peace is the love of the source.
Peace is the spring of life and a sweet dream.
Peace is our bright shinning sun,
Peace will be turned into faith
Filling every dark and damp corner,

To save the past and avoid future crisis,
We call for a lasting peace for generations.
We will chase the pace of peace endlessly
If peace does not return to its place someday,
That is the day for all of us
to continue our fight for peace!

For women who’ve learned to be their own worst enemies, this in-your-face guide offers powerful tools to break free from the cultural messages that feed negative body image and stand in the way of women becoming their most authentic and radiant selves.

Have the women in your audience ever wondered what they could accomplish with the time they spend worrying about their body or appearance? In a society overwhelmed with messages of how women should be and appear, it’s easy for them to internalize these ideas and become their own harshest critics. It’s time for a change. It’s time to stop squashing women into painfully tight “should-be” boxes and celebrate their bodies for what they are—divine tools to reach our highest aspirations and experience the full fabulousness of life.

In this book, women find a practical program for healing body image dissatisfaction using a unique blend of wisdom—from yoga to Buddhism and Taoism to shamanism and more. Weaving the author’s own experiences with tools for putting lessons into action, this empowering book will help the audience examine their own thoughts and feelings about their bodies and learn how they affect the way you relate in and to the world.

With this unflinchingly direct and honest book, women will learn to release years of negative conditioning to see themselves as the fiercely authentic women they really are. It’s time for women to stop wasting time and energy hating their bodies and to start moving toward a life that celebrates their body’s unique strengths and capabilities for experiencing health, happiness, and true radiance.

In an interview on your program Erica can discuss:

The challenges she has faced with her own body image issues

How body image shapes mental health and wellness

The power of healthy body image on physical fitness and strength

The benefits of these sustainable lessons for maintaining a healthy body image

What the biggest obstacles are in women’s minds around loving their bodies

Some of the tools she speaks about in this book

How she brings her knowledge down to a practical level so every woman can understand

and much more!

“Your Body, Your Best Friend is the ultimate guide for how to feel amazing in your own skin. Erica skillfully inspires and prompts you to shed the habitual behaviors,
obsessive thoughts, and negative self-talk that can get in the way of compassion, love, and joy. She makes radical acceptance accessible.”
—Tasha Eichenseher, former brand director at Yoga Journal, and yoga teacher

“This book is everything! For a start, Erica reminds us that we are not alone in our body confusion. She teaches us why this has happened with smarts and clarity that allow us to feel smart, too. Then she empowers us through meditations, journaling, and sensory awakenings that help us find our way home again—home to our own, good bodies that are just the right size to hold all the love and pain and beauty of real life. I’m giving this book to all my women friends.”

“Paul Josephs; composer, performer, wordsmith, singer, guitarist, New York native, educator, environmental activist, blues man. Been playing professionally since 16; hit the scene with these older blues musicians playing all around NYC and also ran my own night on Tuesdays opening up for the comedy show at the NY Improv. Since then have had the good fortune to have toured and been hired for session work with a handful of wonderful musicians; Idris Muhammad, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Pharoahe Monch, Jean Grae, Beyonce, Citizen Cope, Maceo Parker, Aurthur Blythe, Kenwood Denard, Rodney Jones, The Roots, Nikki Glaspie, Alice Smith etc.… have released two of my own albums; the second one, Strong World, has had me touring in Germany, Holland, Switzerland, England, and France.

Grew up on the Hudson River, the native people of this land called it Mahicanituk or “river that flows both ways,” and named themselves after it as “people of the river that flows both ways,” Muhheakunn (the Dutch used Mohican.) The songs and spirit are connected with this river; as is true for many musicians and artist alive now and many greats that came before including John Coltrane and Thelonius Monk.

The music is performed with different ensembles often with either a trio of guitar, bass and drums or a solo concert featuring just guitar or piano and voice; and also at times the music is presented in one-man concerts featuring live-looping. Sometimes the space on stage contracts significantly as the group expands into a septet with trumpet, trombone, sax, and keys or another guitar.

I produce music of all kinds with all different types of people and conduct production and song writing workshops with students all over new york city and the world.

On the road with purpose and leaving a trail of raised spirits in the wake.

A successful business man and entrepreneur, loving husband and father, and avid basketball-lover, Mark Moore had it all. But in May 2007, at the age of 46, his entire life changed when he suffered two strokes. After spending a month in a medically-induced coma, Mark underwent intensive rehabilitation, including speech therapy, physical therapy, and having to relearn basic life skills such as writing a check and tying his shoes. Now, 10 years later, he has made a near-full recovery due to extensive rehabilitation, the expertise of caregivers, and what he calls the three Fs: family, friends, and faith.

A Stroke of Faith tells of Mark’s journey from extremely successful businessman to unexpected stroke victim to survivor and educator. Since recovering, he has dedicated his life to teaching others about stroke prevention and recovery, giving back to his community through extensive philanthropy, and spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren.
