But my visit to Blue Spruce Park in the rain was prompted by a mission. Back in 2004-2005, when I lived in Indiana, PA, a group of community and nonprofit leaders gathered to develop Let There Be Peace: A Community Peacebuilding Event. 
Friends from the local children's commission took part in the planning. We decided to obtain a peace pole, a wooden structure that encourages unity and peace. Twelve cultures are represented on the pole through 12 languages each saying the phrase, "May peace prevail on Earth." Here is a close-up of two of the 12 languages. I'm not sure of the language in the bottom picture, but the top picture has my favorite of all the languages--American Sign Language. Click on the picture to see a closer view of the phrase "Peace in the World" spelled out in ASL.
