LEAHI PARK

 

After the Diamond Head hike and Shave Ice, we looked at the trees and lava boulders

in Leahi Millennium Peace Garden.

   

In 1999, seven hundred and fifty students from around the world attended the Millennium Young People’s Congress in Honolulu, Hawaii. They talked about climate change, peace, human rights, and poverty. Then they buried a time capsule for United Nations Day. It will be opened on October 24, 2049.

It isn’t enough to talk about peace.                                                          Today there is no longer a choice between

One must believe in it.                                                                 violence and nonviolence. It is either nonviolence

And it isn’t enough to believe in it.                                          or nonexistence. I feel that we’ve got to look at this

One must work at it.                                                        total thing anew and recognize that we must live together.
