Happy International Day of Peace

The Peace Bell was donated by the United Nations Association of Japan in 1954

In 1954 the Peace Bell was donated by the United Nations Association of Japan . It is tradition to ring the bell twice a year, on the first day of spring, at the Vernal Equinox and on 21 September to celebrate the International Day for Peace.

The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthen the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire. However achieving true peace entails much more than laying down arms. It requires the building of societies where all members feel that they can flourish. It involves creating a world in which people are treated equally, regardless of their race.

This year’s theme is to End racism. Build peace,

I was born and live in rural North Wales (UK) and found poetry again after a lifetime, so grateful I did :)
