Every morning begins with Circle. Larry Crane, first left, was the event co-ordinator so he starts off with the "orders of the day" to let all know the route, what to expect, to be careful and this morning Larry read a "Prayer for Peace" written by Jane Goodall.
Everyone gets a chance to say what is on their minds. John Toren started out by telling everyone about the last time he saw Patrick Liteky and he dedicated his walk to Patrick who passed away several months ago. Jim talked about Jim Harney who is an ex priest and photo journalist who is walking from Boston Massachusetts to New Haven Connecticut for undocumented workers and the poor. Jon Blickenstaff talked about Barbara Wolf. Barbara was arrested for civil disobedience for sitting in Congressman Steve Chabot's Cincinnati Ohio office almost two years ago, trying to get him to help stop the war in Iraq. She was sentenced to 10 days for refusing to do twenty hours of community service, saying that she's been doing community service all her life, that she loves doing community service, and that she doesn't want a thing she loves redefined as punishment. All these folks are worthy of our prayers as we walk today. |
