Smith from New Zealand sings his own arrangement of “A Peaceful Solution” not because he is against anything but because he is for peace. He shows how simple decisions can become when you stop working against what is wrong and start working for what is right.

It sure is easy to point fingers at the bad guys. Anyone in the public eye seems to be fair game. Somehow people always seem to find fault with someone else.

Smith from New Zealand doesn’t need to decide if this politician or that one is the better or worse candidate. He doesn’t have to pick a lesser of evils.

Neither do you.

If you choose peace that one simple straightforward decision clears away all confusion. The mountains of rhetoric and opinion designed to direct your feet upon one path or another fall into the sea.

You can choose to end the conflict in your life.

As a ready example, reflect upon all the violence, suffering and death in the Old Testament. None of it would have happen if the first people would have chosen to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life rather than the fruit of the Tree of Good and Evil.

The will and power to make judgment upon other people, other animals and even plants seem to be the first steps along a path of misery for all. To assume the right of God to decide life and death inevitably produces consequences awful to bear.

Look where this assumption of God’s right has taken us.

It seems we are also told in the New Testament that the choice between eating the fruit of the Tree of LIfe and the fruit of the Tree of Good or Evil is a choice we all have to make. It is a choice each of us has to make every moment of every day.

Whether this idea is expressed as the Golden Rule or explicitly spoken as Jesus Christ says, “Judge not least you be judged,” the same message has been put forward over and over again. He asks that you first “take the plank out of your own eye” before you attempt to “take the speck” out of your brother’s eye.

Who has persevered to remove the plank from their own eye?

If anyone was able to remove the plank from their eye then Christ did it. Then He showed us the power of Love. Love is what Christ showed us when He died for all people.

Christ demonstrated unqualified preemptive Love.

Do not be confused by those who teach us to hate, regardless of their power or position. Whenever a minister, theologian, philosopher or teacher walks you down the path of hatred know that you have left the path of Christ.

For his love of children, all children, Smith from New Zealand works for peace.

If you wish to witness miracles then choose the path of peace and love. The peaceful solution can save the Americas and the rest of the world.

My Name is Smith. I am from New Zealand. I tell you now that American Politics are a mystery to me, so I am not informed enough to be commenting on the current issues!

I have reworked this song, with very minor changes, because the message is peace!

I present the song with Energy and Passion, because I sense the Urgency in Willie’s voice, to act now!

I honestly believe that as John Lennon said “the world can live as one”!
& we can use our newfound technology, not to kill, but to take the first step!

To begin to spread the word now! P E A C E

What motivates you to work for peace and the environment?

My four beautiful children,
& the world’s beautiful children,
who will grow and then have to tend
the seeds we sow right now….

What are your ideas for peaceful solutions?

I don’t have the answers or the master plan.

I believe peace has to come from within.

Like Willie & Amy, and countless others,
if I can use my talent to stir awakenings in Mankind.
Then I’ll sing till the Bombs stop falling,
I’ll strum till the doves come calling..

“You can’t make peace with a closed fist.
“You can only find it in open arms”
SMITH ‘08

Thank you Mr. Nelson for your gentle spirit & thank you Amy for sharing your beautiful dream…Here’s to a Peaceful Solution..Smith
