And a happy Monday to all. I took a long walk in the morning beauty this morning but unlike many mornings I had an itinerary in mind. I wanted to see firsthand the response of the people of St. Marks Capitol Hill to an act of hatred in this peaceful courtyard (a noose was hung from one of the trees recently, apparently a far too often act in DC). The signs are a witness to love in the face of hate. I know, for many, this is a small action, but if you walk the perimeter ( as I did in the video) and this act of saying no to hate, it…well, it was more powerful than I expected. Grateful to be even a tiny part of this place.
