Prayer vigil this morning

Today was low and high which makes it even. Disappointments happened as well as good surprises. Moments of awareness are longer than moments of no consciousness.

These platitudes come to me as I reviewed my day. There was the prayer vigil for a homicide victim this morning where a large group of family and friends were present. I did not hear on the news about this homicide victim, 27 year old African American male in North Central Milwaukee but I guess his death by gun got one line in the newspaper. After the prayer vigil a group of children went out on the street and let loose a bunch of balloons.

My veteran friend did not show up again to work in the garden. He is a good person but he wants basically money not work. I give him an advance in pay which probably contributed for his not showing up for work in the garden again.

Among other things I refined my recent research on Catholic Church in North Central Milwaukee and the Military spending records of Rep. Paul Ryan ® and Rep. Gwen Moore (D) of Wisconsin. So far those involved directly in the Church segregation issue or concerned about military spending of congresspersons have not responded. When the research says something you do not want to hear some believe it is best to ignore it. I sent the revisions to some who in words say they are concerned but the essays will probably get ignored again.

One of my friends who has a brain disorder called me tonight to tell me how once again he let someone take advantage of him and take some of his money. The person knows when my friend gets his weekly stipend from a social agency and is right there to take some.

Daily small things, when lived fully, can be major experiences in life.
