June 25

One of the finer things in my life is participating in the Minneapolis Voices for Peace. I had my first practice since returning to the land of the brave tonight, and I when I walked in, all the ladies applauded me. Diversity is such a beautiful thing, because we grow unevenly... some of us grow in one dimension and some in another. I love singing beautiful songs about peace, with women who can't carry a tune, women who can't hear much, women without much of the memories left, because the women in the Minneapolis Voices for Peace have taught me that life goes on until we breathe our dying breath. They continue to fight for what matters, and force their voices to be heard. They make me excited for what is to come, and they always give me hope. I am proud to be a part of them, and they also make me proud to be a part of this humanity, and this world.
