Also the hardest battle to win, sadly. But worth trying. Happy Easter, Beth.
Best wishes, Pete.

I really like that artwork, and the Camus quote is great–though he was active in the French resistance during WWII, and edited an underground paper called Combat.

Anthem (The first 3 verses)
Song by Leonard Cohen
The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don’t dwell on what has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Ah, the wars they will be fought again
The holy dove, she will be caught again
Bought and sold, and bought again
The dove is never free
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in

Beautiful art. For weeks now, I’ve displayed a “Peace, not war” sign in my front picture window. I live along a busy street, so many see this message, which I’ve also carried at our weekly protests. I made a much larger peace sign also. After listening to our pres and the secretary of war (not peace), I feel more fired up to continue protesting. When will this madness end? We must press on.

Truth! I very much appreciate how the artwork has space for those branches already shared…or perhaps space for more branches…at least that’s how I interpret it.
