If you go back to my posts from Guatemala between Oct. 26 & Nov. 13, you can now see the images I have added. During the next weeks I will post more pictures.
Meantime, I received a card from Martha Pierce who heads a group I worked with during the 1980s when we worked with Guatemalan refugees, the Chicago Metropolitan Sanctuary Alliance. Martha quotes the novelist and poet, Alice Walker, on "Human Sunrises."
"When it is all too much, when the news is so bad meditation itself feels useless, and a single life feels too small a stone to offer on the altar of peace, find a human sunrise. Find those people who are committed to changing our scary reality. Human sunrises are happening all over the earth, at every moment. People gathering, people working to change the intolerable, people coming in their robes and sandals or in their rags and bare feet, and they are singing, or not, and they are chanting, or not. But they are working to bring peace, light, compassion to the infinitely frightening downhill slide of human life."
