HANDSHAKES & HUGS FOR EARTH SYNERGY A SOLEMN MULTI-NATIONALITY CEREMONY UPON A POEM-PRAYER
CEREMONY VARIATIONS POEM / PRAYER (ORIGINAL) POEM / PRAYER (TRANSLATIONS) CEREMONY DESIGN
There have been… 5) applaud even more loudly the synergy of all gathering who are holding this ceremony that time and in earlier periods around the world, the powerful and still growing synergy of their joint commitment "to rescue and heal, conserve and exalt our Mother Earth,".
6) Then, they
"seal" this synergetic event with hugs and handshakes all around, and
(optionally) eat and drink with appropriate music to celebrate.
VARIATIONS As described in these e-mailed feedback letters: From Pakistan... Greetings from Pakistan. I did write to you earlier that we would be translating the poem/prayer "A Giant Leap for Humankind," into Urdu. I am sorry it has taken so long... it has been a difficult job getting it done. We will be celebrating handshakes on April 22 starting around 8:00 am, for which we have written a separate song (idea taken from Earth Synergy 2000). We plan to have 10,000 children come and sing it to a popular local tune. I will write more about it later. The translation of your poem/prayer is attached. All the best,

I am interested in being
part of this but can't raise the site to print or even read the poem.

Leslie Perrigo (We e-mailed back promptly the original Earth Synergy poem-prayer in English) From a North-Irish living in New York... As president of Fortview Foundation Inc, I pledge to organize a 'Circle of Friends' party in Crossmaglen S.Armagh on April 23rd the day after Earthday 2000 April 22nd on the N.Irish border and shall invite persons from all walks of life to meet upon that border site to 'forge a human peace cirle' Reconciliation in Ireland and the world. Afterwards, we shall travel 'together as a unified group' for the reading of "A Giant Leap for Humankind" and song and dance party in Crossmaglen town.

Clare Holland From Sweden... Thank you for airing your new idea! I don't think you're too ambitious, but it's nice to be in touch with such creative people like you, who both have the initiative, interest, inspiration and intelligence to induce people to go further! Though you're to a certain extent detailed I may still ask a little: Have you in mind (for a meeting in Stockholm) people exclusively from Stockholm-area or from Sweden as such or maybe from other Nordic countries as well? I suppose it's more in line with the first: attendants from a rather limited area here. Three hours (as a preliminary time-measure) session indicates convenient ways to arrive. Have you made Easter as a choice all over the meetings you're hoping will be materialized? It may be good, only to be aware of that it's a vacation-time, I mean a time for moving/travelling/fellowship, but if we reach the real target-group it may be fine. I can think of contacting the Filipinos here and some environmental groups or NGOs of that interest.
To summarize: Is
your intention just a meeting to focus on your poem and its content, for
reflection and sharing, a meal or something to eat/drink together and so
being part of a world-wide event? What do you then mean by "mount some
sort of campaign" and "persons

(From an Earth-hugging Filipino theater, television and cinema actress, upon learning of the response from Russia) That is so beautiful Ding, I love the feeling of "from the Baltic to the Pacific". This message is already an oceanic handshake and hug. Can you mail me again the SWA: "Handshakes and Hugs" please? Thanks.

A
poem/prayer for Earth Synergy, titled "A Giant Leap for Humankind,"
underscoring the collective responsibility of the Human race for the
environmental destruction and for the urgent need "to rescue and heal,
conserve and exalt our Mother Earth," was composed by Ding Reyes in
October 1999, and translation into various languages of the world was
started immediately afterwards by his friends from various countries. By
Earth Day (April 2000) a simple solemn ceremony and its many variations
got started being held in at least six countries, and the translations
reached 15 various languages, including Bengali, Danish, Filipino,
French, German, Japanese and Swedish and these have been mounted on the
Internet in one of the websites
of Saniblakas (synergy) Foundation. This has been part of annual World
Environment Day celebrations since that year. It is now being promoted
by the SYCONE (pronounced 'seek one') Humanity, a new SanibLakas
organization working for Synergy in Conscious Oneness.
