of Divine Love
to all receptive hearts nurtured
in the Silence.
Psalm 147, translated by Nan Merrill
April presented us with a birthday celebration for Lindsay, a road trip to Atlanta, Skype calls with soul friends, community organizing meetings to resist and rise above water shutoffs, writing projects, sessions at the soup kitchen, an immigration teach-in at a local high school where the undocumented educated the teachers, more baby steps for setting up our nonprofit, yoga poses, long runs, happy hours, NBA playoff games and sit-coms, and so much more.
Here's a photo journal of people and places we experienced during the thirty days of April:
Our friend Sarah Thompson at the mic during the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Atlanta. |
An organization called Lead to Life invites family members to share the stories of victims of gun violence. Then, they melt guns into shovels. |
Spring came early down South. |
The Poor People's Campaign is organizing forty days of nonviolent direct action starting the day after Mother's Day. We will be at the capital in Lansing. |
Lindsay wears her prized birthday backpack (s/o Riley and his Mom!). Among it's so-far-detected super powers: 1) better-than-a-purse, 2) disarming conversation-starter, 3) kitchen-cleaning powers. |
A coffeehouse/laundromat opened up in one of the most decimated streets in Detroit. |
Our friends Leah and Vicki are creating a Lawn Gone Food Farm in their backyard on Detroit's Eastside. |
Our dear friend Craig Landino came for a weekend visit to share meals, expand hearts and blow minds! |
The backpack is brilliant! Lots of love from Peter & Eliisa!
