The Library Grows

I have been able to complete another three metal books for my small precious library of peace. These three books range in height from 13cm down to 9 cm.

The larger one has a John Lennon quote stamped on its middle page.
Peace is something you wish for
Peace is something you make
Peace is something you are 
Peace is something you do
Peace is something you give away

The middle sized book has a Jimi Hendrix quote stamped into it.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power then the world will have peace.

And the smallest book has Thich Nhat Hanh's quote.
Peace is every step.

    Ahhh, good to see more additions to the Peace Train! I have been back through all the posts I've missed (really don't know what has happened to my time for checking blogs!) Many wonderful images of your travels and artwork. Loved the old, craggy textures in Belgium, snow and ice, flowers in your world. Many blessings for December, Barry, I hope I'm back sooner than later!

    AA, VA, V& C - thanks for your comments on these precious books. I have been preparing and cutting more metals pages. Now have enough to create the 21 books I'm aiming to do. Will keep you posted when I get to stamp them and rivet the covers. I'm looking forward to seeing the whole group of 21. Go well and rest peacefully over the Christmas period. B
