Saturday, March 5

Sunshine, laughter and shared concern as Ed and his emblematic VW van (which is the storage and conveyance of a plethora of signs - 10 years of varying sentiments for peace, challenging war) are absent.  We discuss his situation as we select our signs and 2 becomes 4 then 5 and soon 7, 8, 9.  People in cars wave, flash us the peace sign.  We catch up, there on the curb.  Now we are 10 and a dog.  Now 11.  Oh, yes - there are brownie's  from the friendly woman in the red mini-van.  And,  here is our 12th companion, standing in community reminding those who pass - "in this moment our nation is at war."
