Entry #11– December 13, 2010

The Image and Message:  The Peace Pole -- Que La Paz Prevalezca en la Tierra – May Peace Prevail on Earth

My wish for  everyone is for peace as we celebrate Christmas and many other holidays around the world this month. This is one of many Peace Poles I have seen in Northern Michigan. I do not remember the rainbow being there when I took this photo, so its appearance is a fun surprise. According to the website for the Peace Pole Project, there are over 200,000 Peace Poles in about 195 countries. See  http://www.worldpeace.org/index.html for the history of the Peace Pole, and stories and photos from around the world. I would like to plant one in my own yard in 2011.*

P.S. I did add one to my yard after writing this blog entry.  In answer to the comment by Leland Ross:  Mine is in English, Spanish, French, and Hebrew.   Sixteen languages?  Fantastic!

Thank you, Kiki! I agree - the Peace Pole is just a reminder. We must do much more. I am glad to know that there are Peace Poles in San Cristobal. I wonder if there are some in Yucatan and in cities of Ecuador and Nicaragua where my friends live. I will ask them!

We have a 16-language peace pole in our front yard. I'm curious what language(s) your pole displays.

Aw, this was a really nice post. In idea I would like to put in writing like this additionally? Taking time and actual effort to make a very good article? But what can I say? I procrastinate a lot and by no means seem to get something done.
