Monday, 21 May

10 is the number with one leaving and another arriving - but 12, in fact, as I recall the two who were there at the beginning of the hour for a few minutes.  Vigil in shifts works for some folks better than the whole hour.  Yesterday's eclipse and a granddaughter's college graduation and a recent holiday in the Cascades (hiking in due to snow packed roads) were part of the conversations I overheard.  Cookies were passed around the group.  This is a peace vigil - community conversation and an eye to the people passing to acknowledge their participation in the vigil.  For, I do regard everyone who responds/reacts as being a part of why I stand there.
