Pledge to Life
I pledge allegiance to all life in its interdependent diversity; and to the Planet upon which it exists, one World, under the sky, undividable with harmony and balance for all. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The sunflower is my favorite plant. Aside from its many uses (food, oil, etc.), it is a symbol of hope, peace, and nonviolence. I have a dedicated personal page on sunflowers. The link is in my list of links below. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Get all the posts on Utah Blogs daily at ~~~~~~~~~~~ UTAH LEGISLATURE WATCH ~~~~~~~~~~~ Utah Peace House ~~~~~~~~~~~ Motion to Support Resources for Families Impacted by Incarceration ~~~~~~~~~~~
