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

Journey for Justice December 18th. Day 18 San Diego/Friendship Park

Pacific Ocean at her southern most u.s.ofa. border where there is a Friendship International Park. This is the only place on the border where family members divided by this wall could come to touch fingers thru the 3" opening between posts. But then border police decided people could pass things to each other - so called 'contrabanb' so an additional layer of tiny holed fencing was added.

This is also the place where 50 years ago, Patricia Nixon ordered her body guards to lower the 3 strands of barbed wire fencing separating Mexicans from u.s.ofa. folks.

She said she thinks that one day soon there will be no border fence between our countries - like it was just a few years earlier.

This is the last place the 'wall' stands the previously 'normal' height of 18'. tRump tried unsuccessfully to extend the 30' wall thru this international friendship park during the last days of his administration. Now Biden is taking up his mission.

This is where families divided by the wall come with their new born babies or their terminally ill elders to say their first hellos or last goodbyes.

But since covid, even this little bit of touching fingertips has been denied.
