I have been deeply touched by how so many have been inquiring of themselves how we can best respond from the light to the tragedy in Arizona. I received an email from Common Cause today with this beautiful quote from Martin Luther King, Jr.:
“When evil men (and women) plot,
good men (and women) plan.
When evil men (and women) burn and bomb,
good men (and women) must build and bind.
When evil men (and women) shout ugly words of hatred,
good men (and women) commit themselves to the glories of love.
Where evil men (and women) would seek to perpetuate an unjust status quo,
good men (and women) must seek to bring into being a real order of justice.”
– Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have a small tree in a pot; it will never grow large enough to fruit with exuberant superabundance. I will have a few precious opportunities to taste a sun-warmed fig right from the tree. My tree will also serve as a personal barometer, telling me whether this year’s weather is optimal for figs or not so much.

The band was quite good. A donation was well-merited.
