11 standing in the sunshine.  beast & beauty:  the angry man with his jacked-up brown pick-up truck revved his engine to spew the clouds of black exhaust as he passes us.  what is his message? beyond an expression of hostility is there some commentary?  he used to do his angry drive-by frequently; it has been many weeks without seeing him.   there is some talk about the early weeks of the vigil and the overt hostility experienced.  we then notice that a day of sunshine brought the buds on the nearby cherry tree into  promising fullness.  what beauty balances the neighborhoods where our wars rage?
