Peace

I marched for peace in a small local parade for the 4th of July. It was an interesting and overall positive experience. The group I marched with is part of a National Group called Code Pink, women for peace.
With the recent death of a local serviceman we opted to be silent and simply display words of peace and wear pink.
We got clapping and cheers from the children who loved our pink umbrella's and some of the older folks.
I did get a greater sense of what it is like to stand up for what you believe in knowing there is potential for adversity.
It felt like an important step in a small community and I was glad to have participated.

Peace begins and ends with you!
