Can you see the tiny footprints inside the peace sign? To me that is what makes this a true work of art. Some creative genius made this on Vero Beach before I happened along and I was feeling pretty blessed to get to see it before the tide came in a washed it completely away. The artist had spelled out Peace Baby Peace below the actual symbol. It is almost the antithesis of "Drill Baby Drill" and a reminder of the ill-conceived ideology that got us to the place where we now fear the worst for our beaches. I feel the need to visualize the best possible outcome, despite my fears. For those who have already seen the oil drench their homes and their wildlife, I hope that a miracle is not too much to expect. And for the tiny feet that made the prints in this piece of art, I pray that their world will not be ruined by the damage man has done. And can the oil please stop gushing now?
