Day One

Greetings, fellow fasters, concerned citizens, and the blogosphere! As we head into hour 18 of our fast for peace, I hear a strange ringing in my ears. Perhaps it is the leftover echoes of yesterday's bristling cacophony of horns, bike bells, and shouts heard on Woodward, across the street from the Fox and Fillmore Theaters, at Central United Methodist Church. Maybe my ears foretell of a celebratory sound, signaling a just and lasting peace between our government and the governments of our brethren around the world. It could also be that I sat up too quickly.

We certainly met some vibrant people yesterday. I'd like to extend a special welcome to Lisha (sp?) and Micah, who were kind enough to join us early on. Please comment with your blog link or pictures, and thanks again for lending your spirit to our group.

Calling all radically anti- war individuals in Metro Detroit! Our efforts on Woodward SHALL CONTINUE! We (Pax Christi Michigan, fasters, and supporters) will be out again from 5pm to 8pm this evening, and from 10am to 6pm on Monday, with a press conference at Noon. Meet us outside of Central United Methodist Church, and we'll be happy to explain ourselves.

That's all for now. Peace in your mind, peace in the world, my sisters and brothers.

Emily - Michigan Coalition for Human Rights
