It Feels Like Spring

After a few weeks of snow and frigid temps, I walk outside to let the Buddha dog do his morning duties and I breathe in spring air.  The Birds are singing.  My computer exudes exuberant voices from Egypt.

It's a new day.

Spring-like weather may not last from now into the summer, but the high today is expected to be almost 50 degrees and I will enjoy it as I stand for peace.

The exuberance of the Egyptians may not last indefinitely - after all, there is much to do to ensure that they get a government they want - but they are enjoying the results of their work right now and so am I.

When one person is willing to free herself, we are all freed.

Because it will be a warmer day to stand in vigil and because I'll be standing in solidarity with my brothers and sisters in Egypt, I have brought out one of my favorite shirts to wear:






It was designed by my friends, Emma's Revolution:





Thank you, people of Egypt.  You have shown me the power of the human spirit.

  1. I read this post after I read the one about you being cold. But it's a nice shirt! I hope you had some sort of jacket . . .

  2. G.G.,

    When I walked out the door, I realized that I might be under-dressed, so I went back in and put on a shirt over my shirt and then a jacket. Still wasn't enough...

    I love that shirt. Too bad, nobody saw it.

  3. I saw it, but not on you, so I guess that doesn't count. The weather will cooperate soon, I'm hoping.
