T-SHIRT: Practice Peace: Proceed Until Apprehended
A few years ago, working in a large healthcare system, a woman offered me her family motto, "Proceed until apprehended!" Since that time, I've spoken it to many people and asked that we let it guide our actions.
Recently, two sisters who have a socially enlightened T-shirt company offered to design the motto into a shirt, and also to benefit The Berkana Institute.
So now we have a great T-shirt with a powerful message and a beautiful image. (The image of hands tenderly cradling the world was taken from a recent poem of mine.)
Visit www.thefirstmove.net/pua to see the shirt and place your order. $3.00 of each shirt purchased goes to Berkana.
May we all "Practice Peace and proceed until apprehended."
