- 5:37Speaker 2: stage that is Peace Lights. It's more than just eye candy.
- 5:41Speaker 2: It is an internationally recognized symbol of peace. The colors

- 5:51Speaker 2: harmony and peace and good energy. You see the word

- 5:57Speaker 2: five and we always chose the holiest form of the light.
- 6:00Speaker 2: We do not have it in the parrot language though.
- 6:04Speaker 2: And the final thing about Peace Lights is wherever Peace
- 6:06Speaker 2: Lights plays around the world, people are encouraged to project
- 6:10Speaker 2: their own thoughts and intents for peace into the lights
- 6:12Speaker 2: and add to the amount of energy. So Happy Earthday, everybody.
