bud's blog: fast day nine

the circle slowly melts as folks have had to leave the Temple for other parts. a sadness that reminds me of the responsibilities back home but also of the rending of families by the very existence of hellholes such as guantanamo. the hours of the fast dwindle down and i recall Dr. King's final speech "difficult days ahead" and i know that as the fast ends the 100 days campaign truly begins and we must continue. here and at home. we keep hearing "keep the pressure on" and i hope we do.
