There was a rally in downtown Los Angeles Tuesday July 16th in solidarity with  Trayvon Martin and in opposition to the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the murder of this young boy.  It was attended by a broad cross section of our city, and it felt empowering to be in the midst of fellow humans that felt a need to express their outrage to such a denial of justice.

I am absolutely baffled, how it is that a man can kill another and not have to atone for this crime. Isn't this one of the most ancient and unforgivable of crimes or sins ? Are we so conditioned to the myth of the individual, that we conveniently forget none of us have made it on our own ? Do we consciously turn a blind eye from our grand parents, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, teachers, friends; all who have had a part to play in our making ?

                                                  I missed seeing you there my friends.

                               I hope to see you the next time someone else needs our assistance.
