KYOTO -- Llamas grazed contentedly on the slopes surrounding Machu Picchu as John Kurtenbach spread out the kesa on the South American peak. Later it became part of a meditation held there.
In Antarctica, Robbie Score reported, the temperature was a gusty minus 15 C as she unfolded the kesa on a spot special to her for its beauty, and watched a flock of Adelie penguins gather on a nearby bluff.
In Tasmania, Sue Anderson incorporated the kesa into a religious service in which members focused on world peace. Later it was taken to a hospice and draped around a woman who, as she lie dying of cancer, was able to contribute by her very participation toward peace in the world.
