Maybe if we all smoked a peace pipe maybe it would be more meaningful...in our daily lives and world powers?

The pipe is a sacred thing, it makes the breath (our gift from that which made us) visible and carries our prayers to His ears. It calms the spirit and focuses the mind. We make smoke to the 4 winds (directions) as well as to our Mother the Earth and our Father Sky. It is a great responsibility to be a pipe keeper.

It humbles the high minded person that accepts it smoking it. Humble people will seek peace. That is what the Indian is seeing. That is why it has significance.

I think it would depend on what substance is in the pipe.

It really depends on what you put in the peace pipe. :)

Actually...it's called a calumet. Peace pipe is incorrect and the term isn't viewed with approval usually.

It might be. Maybe the activity and photos of us participating would be a constant reminder of the commitment.

I think it could bring a lot of people closer together.
There will always be dangers in this world, but this would help us see them more for WHAT they are, rather than what they tell us they are...

To lie while holding the pipe is an unwise choice. A man named Sun Bear told many lies. He is dead of cancer of the tongue.
