My mental and physical health are not the best, so I will not be there physically.

Indeed, I am such a wreck worrying about everything going on that my guilt over not doing my part is slightly assuaged. As I discussed with my therapist, if I had a panic attack in the middle of today's events it wouldn't do anybody any good.

Over on another thread in the General Discussion forum, I posted Youtube links to cameras showing the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. There is a certain irony to the fact that I am watching an erupting volcano in the hopes of calming my mind.

I really want to extend my support and respect to everyone putting themselves out there in the cause of peace and justice.

America is a beautiful idea being carried forth by flawed people. No matter how many times we fall short of those ideals, they are still worth striving towards.

Here's to you, my friends-- Best of luck in working towards a more perfect union.

LLAP.
