5K walk. Morningside Heights.
Walked in solidarity with Kirk in the Hills to support Accent Pontiac. Accent Pontiac’s mission is “strengthening Pontiac’s youth and community through equitable access to intensive and consistent music making.” My father’s first jobs were as a high school instrumental teacher and band director. The last half of the play list honors him.
It was great to get some exercise, support a friend, support a great cause, and remember my father.

All Saints’ Day
Bread is broken,
wine is poured,
space transcended,
time torn;
and all in Christ
are one.
On All Saints’ Day – November 1, 1995, I had the privilege to worship at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Cape Town, South Africa. I had talked and preached about All Saints’ Day often. I have deep appreciation for the Communion of Saints. It is an important and profound dimension of my faith. Still, this was the first All Saints’ Day service I ever attended. It included the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper and led me to write these words.
For all the saints, thanks be!

Arthur Ashe
I finished Arthur Ashe by Raymond Arsenault tonight. Here are several six word stories about Arthur Ashe. I will keep trying.
Black man,
white game,
undying love.
Days of glory,
days of grace.
Calm in storm,
gone too soon.
Returned
blazing serves;
justice for injustice.
Living well,
dying young,
never forgotten.
