Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

"I love this truck!"



 I’m deep in my camper, perched on the top bunk, organizing, when I hear a gaggle of elementary students walk by. One of the youngsters, a boy about 8 or 9, imbues enthusiastically “I LOVE this truck!” and I lean over to witness the entire group of about 6 boys (including one white child) stop and nod in agreement as another boy claims “I’m SOOOO glad this truck parks here on my street!”
            By the time I disentangle myself enough to go out and thank the young fellows, they’ve moved on, leaving me smiling broadly and my heart full with pleasure and hope abounding!
