Murtis Around Town


It is an affirmation that my life suits me, when I am happy to be home (even working) after a spectacular vacation.
Yesterday I walked over to the White House and joined at the final step of a pilgrimage for peace in Gaza. Among the walkers and those giving voice at the White House were Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Baptists, AME, Hindus, Quakers, Lutherans, and other Christian denominations.
The speaker representing Hindus for Human Rights said this was a shanti yatra—literally a pilgrimage for peace. Every step, every action, every word for peace a prayer embodied.

I looked at these words hanging together and thought I wasn’t quite certain what was intended to be said. Consider:
Read from top to bottom or try it out from left to right.
Put in a comma or an exclamation point.
Just an period or perhaps two. Omit punctuation entirely.
Think of all the meanings of both words and mix them around with various punctuation marks.
What about a question mark (or two)?
Then stop all that and just let meaning come to you.
