 vision…then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”

                       -- Audre Lordes\n\nThe Great S.I.T. for Peace: \nA 
 Mass Silent Meditation\n\nEndorsed by Global Exchange, The Women's 
 Building, The Black Law Student's Association (B.L.S.A.) and Center for 
 Education & Social Action of New College of California.\n\nTues., OCT. 8, 
 2002 7a.m. to 7p.m. – San Francisco Civic Center, Grove and Larkin 
 Sts\n\nThe One Time When Silence Equals Life. \n\nMost philosophies and 
 spiritual practices of the world utilize and honor the value of knowing 
 when to be silent. Recent U.S. military actions and their outcomes have 
 proved wasteful economically. (Don’t look at the Dow, look at your life). 
 Moreover, war is costly by the loss of human life – soldiers AND 
 civilians.\n\nWar and the mere mention of imminent war is agonizing for 
 those of us at home and abroad. Join us for an hour of mindfulness on peace 
 – or longer if you can. If possible, wear purple in solidarity for peace 
 and passion for life.\n\nStill In Time for Peace (S.I.T. for Peace), a 
 peace organization founded by womyn of color, in conjunction with the 
 International Women’s Days of Action against “War on Terrorism” want 
 to model to the children of the earth another way of resolving conflict – 
 which we believe at times can begin with sitting calm, breathing  and 
 connecting to the peace within one’s own heart. We invite ALL schools, 
 unions, grassroots, spirituality, youth and activist groups to set up 
 informational “altars,” with those who are tabling observing silence. 
 Peace posters/banners are welcome.  Please plan young people 
 accordingly.\n\nWe Need Your Body Count Alive. Perhaps this can prevent an 
 indefinite number of future casualties. Remember that “Listen” and 
 “Silent” contain the same letters. For info email

 believing, loving, doing what was holy - moving to a higher ground, even 
 though our hands were full of slaughtered teeth…But we held out our eyes; 
 delirious with grace. But we held out our eyes; delirious with grace."
