Memorial sculpture depicting Peter Kollwitz' parents praying for their son killed in WWIYesterday I joined a tiny contemporary piece of the "hard work." For four years, faithful Quakers, joined by Buddhists and Episcopalians, have witnessed against war ever Thursday at noon outside the San Francisco Federal Building. Yesterday Fr.

It will need much hard work, but it will be achieved… The important thing, until that happens, is to hold one’s banner high and to struggle… Without struggle there is no life. -- Sculptor Kathe Kollwitz (For much more, read this.)
Thanks for visiting my blog, "Civic Center" and taking my picture (second photo, last guy on the right). These are interesting times and self-publishing is an interesting way to document it.
