Angel Jewellery makes love, not war.
These sentiments reflect in my Angel Pendants and necklaces, reminding us to keep the message simple and true.
“Make love not war” was used in the late 1960’s as an anti~war slogan, by those opposed to America’s involvement in the war in Vietnam. “Make love, not war” was also featured in two song lyrics, one by John Lennon, and another by Bob Marley.
Although many associated it with the free love movement, its message was slightly more serious than just another reference to the sexual revolution of the day. Rather than just leaving us dreaming of a utopian paradise where our children would grow up safe from the ravages of war, it proposed the concept that Love between our brothers and sisters, between all peoples and all Nations would be worth a try. I think it was sad that our generation was mis-represented, so much so that the important message and sentiments of ‘the peace and love generation’ became synonymous with indiscriminate sexual practices and associated with dubiousness. What a fate for our message of hope, love and community.
Lets try again, spread the word, act with love, now.
Remembering the connectedness of all beings.
Linda.
