Are you getting enough rest?

The neighborhood is full of churches and temples and other places of devotion. Sometimes I look at them more closely than others.

Questions Around Town
I visited the National Gallery this morning with a friend and then walked to the White House to join those raising their voices in support of the Equal Rights Amendment.

OK—Two Views
I am ok and grateful for my well-being. I am also, among other things, grieving the death of two different friends in the last month and the remaining dregs of democracy. I could be more ok than the ok that I am. Some people aren’t ok at all. How are you?

A Walk to the MLK Jr Memorial
I was moved to walk to the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial today, seeking inspiration for what more and how better I can contribute to a just and compassionate world.
When I was down at the tidal basin, a hawk flew so close to me, coming from behind, that I heard the movement of its wings before I saw it fly off across the water. I did not get a photograph of the hawk. Here is one of a gull at the reflecting pool in front of the Capitol that I saw on the way home. Below that is a picture of the Memorial.

In War There Are No Unwounded Soldiers
How do you live to lessen the causes of war? I believe this memorial is meant to glorify soldiers and their grit. I find it a call to wage peace.
