Pinwheels for Peace

[From pinwheelsforpeace.com]

In today’s world, peace needs to become more than just a word.

A pinwheel is a childhood symbol – it reminds us of a time when things were simple, joyful, peaceful. A pinwheel is easily made using just about any type of material, from copy paper, to thin plastic, to lightweight metal. The stick of the pinwheel can be as simple as a pencil or as intricate as a carved stick or metal rod. Pinwheels can be made as small as one inch in diameter or as large as desired – limited only by the creator’s materials and motivation. Pinwheels can be minimal or very complex – imagination, creativity (and a mild breeze) are the only variables needed.

I saw this idea on the Holistic Moms Network email loop. Think I may have Sabine and Vivian make some pinwheels sometime soon. International Day of Peace is September 21, 2007.

I invite you to visit and explore as there are a number of things here that may interest you from Wire-Treemaking to poetry and philosophy.
Right now an effort is being made to share the current information of DAILY Human Rights Abuses that are being covered up by media in Canada, because they only effect the poor.
