I came across this sculpture today and I had to smile …
I remember a time when people talked about peace as if it would really happen. When both sexes wore their hair to their shoulders, the girls stopped wearing bras, and the boys all pretended they could play guitar.
The world was going to be a better place. We would make it better.
Yeah …
Created for the Toronto Light Festival last winter by Studio Rosenblatt, Symbolic Peace is a “laser cut steel sculpture meant to signify the strength of diversity within our community”.
Maybe it’s time to bring back the 60’s 🙂
Yeah, things were far from perfect in the sixties, but at least we were moving in the right direction. I often hear the song, “Reach Out of the Darkness,” because it’s on my Ipod and several of my CDs, and while I love it, it also physically hurts me to listen to it because of how horribly we’ve lost that concept.

Apparently, for every stride forward we take two steps back…
I hope this “backlash” phase burns itself out soon 😦

We don’t hear about love and peace enough these days.

I’ve been remembering this song from the 60s by Joni Mitchell. It could have been written today.
