Entry #9: Advertising Brings a Smile

Entry #9 – December 1, 2010

The Image: A storefront in New York City.

It's time for a less serious blog! On Tuesday, November 23, 2010, at the end of three days in New York City, I went for a walk before my departure to the airport. As I returned from Times Square along 42d Street, I had to stop, laugh, and cross the street to take pictures. A security guard confirmed my observation: the signs and open doors had not been there the previous day. Just in time for Christmas and other holidays, Charmin offered a place every tourist and shopper seeks: a place to use the restroom. It seems fitting that folks in NYC would make the bathroom into a Broadway production.

Thank you, Paulette. I guess, we can just save the world for humans if we open our hearts more and more. The Peacepolepeople came here many, many years ago and several are in several different locatipons in town here in San Cristobal. The thing is: the pole is not enough. It is just a reminder. We have to find that peace inside ourselves, otherwise we will not be able to create it outside.

I wish you peace in your heart fot this Christmas.

Hi Kiki,
I posted my response by the Peace Pole blog. Thanks for your thoughtful words. You are 100% right: the pole is not enough. Each of us must find peace within! I wish you great peace this Christmas and beyond, too! Paulette
