Pyramid
of Light above Amsterdam
Thursday September
21 was the International Day of Peace. There were events in all the
big cities in the world. In Amsterdam this happened on the roof of the
NEMO science centre, under a pyramid of light. People from
every culture and religion were invited. Meditating, singing, making
music and dancing led to a special place of togetherness of multi-cultural
Amsterdam, as an example to all the regions where people are fighting
each other.
The Jewish name for Amsterdam “Mokum” has for centuries now done honour to its Hebrew meaning of “safe haven”. The pyramid of light above NEMO, the roof of Amsterdam, symbolizes the unity of the city. Eventually a pyramid of light will have to appear above the roofs of the Old City of Jerusalem but so far this has not been permitted. That is why Rob Schrama will initiate several light-events in the near future in several cities with the citizens, who can thus show that is possible to live with each other in peace.
