I'm reading a very inspiring book, A Persistent Peace by John Dear. I saw him speak a month or two ago and he was very good. He has been arrested more than seventy five times in his peace witness and been to war zones all over the world. I'm not Catholic, but I am in awe of this strain of amazing service and witness that comes out of that faith. It does makes sense to me that it would be easier to do the work he does as a single person, it's hard to imagine getting arrested all the time if you have a family at home. Though I know people have done it, in the Civil Rights movement for example. Anyway, it's a great read.
Covered in glitter and crumbs. Waking up to maracas and fairy wings. Pockets full of rubber bands and dandelions. Buried under book piles. Dirty hands with homemade kombucha. Coffee in the rain. Waiting for that sacred scrap of silence.

Odds, Ends
The battery in my camera is dead and I need to charge it. The sun comes out for a minute and then when we go to the park, it starts raining on us. I'm almost done with my sweater but, once again, I'm racing against the end of the yarn. Oh when will I learn?
So here are some odds and ends of photos. No real story to tell just stuff I like.
I'm working on pieces of plans and ideas, but nothing that is finished enough to tell. Maybe it never will be. I guess we'll see.

Really precious picture of Brixton and Mars! He looks older in the other picture. It's the yin and the yang of toddlers. So sweet!
