Another Peace Vase gets planted

We head out for Nova Scotia on Saturday - we'll be there just for the summer and then back here. I love a road trip and I hope to post about the Labrador portion on this site but it might be awhile.

In the mean time the fella and I planted another Peace Vase. This time in Lake Melville - which is not a lake but an inlet of the Labrador Sea with salt water and tides and so on.

We went out on Monday evening, the weather had been moody all day, bright and then cloudy, rainy then clear but the water was 'flat calm' as they say and so we got into the canoe with our vase encased in cement and headed out to the middle. Here are some photos ...taken with the fella's old point and shoot - we won't take a good camera out in the canoe - it only worked til we got to where we were going - then it froze!
I think the photos are fine though... more on the Peace Vase Project  here.

  2. Jan - I hope you have a safe and good trip. And I think it's wonderful that you took the time to plant a peace vase.

    1. Thanks Margot - it is such an honour to be able to plant the peace vases. So far about three thousand have been planted and about three more thousand to go to reach the vision the teachers had. The Dalai Lama planted one in the palace of Westminster in London in 1999!

  3. Hi Jan, thank you for these beautiful photographs - I checked out the Peace Vase Project - it looks wonderful and I will plan to do this when down at the coast in December and tie it in with the summer solstice.

    1. You are most welcome Susan. The December solstice is my birthday so I always like to do something on that day too! Sometimes I grab my step-dot (if we are in Nova Scotia) and go find the pagans down at the water!
