Peace pipe
Is it a myth that Native Americans used to settle an argument by sitting around the fire, and instead of fighting shared a pipe? That's what we were taught when we were kids. We even have a saying 'lula mira' which literally means a pipe that signifies peace. After the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, someone put this picture on the apartment block calling for all the nations to 'share a pipe' and stop fighting.
Hope your week is peaceful.

That's an interesting thought. maybe we should all do that for a better world.
And it`s so much needed in every part of world.But a greed for gain and greed for power and just a greed to get everything to me seems to be more and more common even in ads.
(We have ads , where a big man is running his tongue out from a mouth after nam,nam jelly, it`s disgusting.)
Sorry, ads are in so much lower level than a peace.
Have a good, pleasant week!
Oh so this isn't straight advertising but a call for peace? That's very nice! Hope it works!
Lula Mira is called 'Calumet de la Paix' in French...
Lula mira or Calumet de la paix, I'll put any one of these ads on buildings if it promises to bring peace - great post!
je ne connaissais pas, voila une bonne initiative. tout ce qui rapproche le gens meritent d'etre mis en place.
I did not know, veiled a good initiative. all that brings closer people deserve to be set up.
very nice post Jazzy. And sending a peace pipe from Bosnia to Iraq would be very useful nowdays.
Nice...
I like movies as well. Maybe one day I'd be at the Oscar... getting awards. :)
Who knows?
good idear !
Actually, I'll have to disappoint you all-- the 'Lula Mira' ad refers to FABRIKA DUHANA SARAJEVO (Tobacoo Industry Sarajevo), and it has no link with the 'peaceful' concept of the symbol whatsoever. One should look closer to see the FDS sign and logo, although it's quite visible. It's just a plain comercial ad for tobacoo company, nothing else. NO hidden symbols or altruistic meaning. Sorry to break the party!!
RHnzSK The best blog you have!
