sunday morning poem, pics and protest links

the gift of light

i thankfully hold
and pass to my neighbor
its shining gold
that everyone may
feel its glow,
receiving and giving
may love and grow.

here is a new york times article about the march that occurred yesterday from washington square, up to 32nd street and then down to one police plaza. and here is mark bittman's current op-ed article on the subject of race and economic inequality.
