Start Loving

Please meet Start Loving. He stands outside the Capitol Building and quietly protests the war. Start Loving is so committed to peace that he gives every day to this effort. I was impressed with how strongly he feels about peace and by his willingness to act in peace to do something about his convictions.

He was written his name across his forehead, with a cross in between: START + LOVING. He seems like a kind and dedicated man, even if I don't share all of

his fears. I will think of him standing quietly on the sidewalk

with all the politicians, tourists and government employees

rushing by him, whenever I sit quietly and pray for peace.
