My dear Friends and Partners in Peace,
Ireland's First-ever World Peace Weekend Festival was a success! THANKS TO ALL OF YOU, OUR FRIENDS, you made it possible with your unique and irreplaceable contributions in all different ways and forms. There is no way I can THANK YOU enough!
Or perhaps, who am I to be the one to thank you? PEACE DAY belongs to all of us.
Here at last is the video that Seamus has generously edited immediately after the event last Friday. I could have uploaded it on YouTube instantly but I was just under enormous pressure with the weekend still unfolding.
It took a whole night last night to upload, only to be re-uploaded again today.
Here it is ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIPMQL6Yrd0
Please allow me to go into the quiet after this email. I am still battling with the after-effects of Pneumonia. I was in hospital just a few days before the event and this explains the funny cap and the layers of clothes and jacket, even when the sun was shining!
PLEASE ALLOW ME NOW MY CHANCE TO REST. Here's hoping my silence would not be interpreted a sign of ingratitude.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND UNDERSTANDING!
MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH!
With much Love and deep Peace,
Rosemarie
