| "Nakayoshi" by Anonymous Sculptor |
On even the most-hurried visit to the Newport Beach Public Library, one has to smile back at the expressions on these faces. Two children, good friends, exude happiness and contentment in this sculpture which was a gift from the city of Okazaki, Japan to the city of Newport Beach, California.
Though the sculptor is anonymous, he or she has perfectly represented the idea of sister cities -- or as they are known in much of the world, twinned cities.
"Good Friends" or "Nakayoshi" the sentiment is the same and a fitting reminder that peace on the macro level begins with good relationships at the micro level. Baby steps toward a world of friendship and peace.
