We live within an hour's drive to the Olive Capital of the world (or so they say)....so we do see a lot of orchards around. Great poem, these branches of peace! ~ Carrie

Lovely, Barbara. Have you read my poem, Sacred Seat? It's from earlier this year. In light of this piece, you might find it interesting! Hugs, Donna

We can learn about peace from the tradition of "extending an olive branch." Lovely poem, Barbara! Mail call. Love, Carolyn
