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.
