MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH

Every day I walk to and from my new office I pass by a wonderful garden in front of the Quirk Building. The garden draws attention to a peace pole that presents in multiple languages the all-important phrase, "May Peace Prevail on Earth." What a wonderful way to begin each work day.

Omorembe obe ase ense
Neka mir zavlada na zemlii
Masibe Uxolo emHlabeni
Möge Friede auf Erden sein
Que la paz prevalezca en la tierra
Ke tumau te filemu ite lalolagi
Wo' wa'hwa la ma'ka a'kan u'num'we
Dunidu nabad ha ku waarto
