 Doing my Saturday night rounds, I come to the stop light where I want to take a right turn - and very faintly on the sidewalk I think I see what I think is a votive candle flickering - I look up and it's in the quiet hands of a young black man.   

BIG MESSAGE HERE, I immediately realize.

Then everyone in the car says: It's got to be for Trayvon!

Wow!

Beautiful!

Some anonomous some one in Ohio, swing state USA, standing on an anonomous  stand your ground street corner at 8:00 pm at night in the dark with a silly flickering votive candle in their hand....

THIS IS THE CIVILIZED WORLD!

right on. 

JUSTICE

COMMUNICATION

PEACE

EQUITY

Very sorry I did not get an image.

Very BIG Hat tip to the candle holder. 

Very STRONG move.

I think the internet is strong, enormously strong,  but I know your one candle flickering on the corner is way stronger than the entire internet.

Because you were holding the candle.

I saw you.

Your single candle, honestly held, has the ultimate strength.

You made me an emotional wreck....
