9/11

The front lawn of the American Red Cross on Delaware Avenue. Every year they place a flag on their lawn for each person lost in the 9/11 attacks. Each flag lists the persons name, where they were from, their age, and what their occupation was. It is very moving.Peace, Shalom, Paix, Frieden, Salam, Paz, Pace

Biking and Spirituality

The “dashboard” of the mule, circa late January 2009 I have often found bicycling more than just a mode of transport from point-A to point-B.
