The other day, I heard an amazing story. An agreement had been signed.
Well, so far, not very special. But: it was an agreement upon carnations. Political carnations, you may say.
Carnations as a political statement.
I liked it. Say whatever you have to say, say it with flowers......
In this case, we Dutchies (our government) agreed to deliver carnation seed to Palestinians:
as we know, people derived from their properties, facing Israeli occupiers, unemployment and violence.
The beautiful thought behind delivering carnation seed is, that Palestinians find employment growing flowers and a solid exportmarket : we, Dutchies, will buy all Palestinian carnations in return.
It was not easy to realize this project. Diplomats had to convince the Israeli. Fortunately, the occupiers gave permission for this trade. Flowers are harmless.
I don't know who came up with this idea. But I like it! May many more problems be solved with the language of flowers. Flower Power Revival! What a great prospect. Me, wearing flowers in my hair, going back-in-time..... Senior-Hippies..... and hopefully: peace in the Middle East.
