The harassment last year and ticketing and >court is no way to spend a week at a gathering at which I intended >to set aside for prayer for peace on earth, good will toward men... >a time I set aside each year to fellowship in this spiritual >journey, a quest for peace and prayer and healing...for my self and >my friends and my family and all peoples on earth. This world is in >such upheaval. I just want to see love spread around the world and >to see folks love one another. I just want peace. > >No one put me up to doing this personal journey.
