“We come on the ship they called the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the ages’ most uncertain hour
And we sing an American tune”

Ththis surfaced in my memory as I watched the protests at JFK today. The words a pointed reminder that in each age we stand against the darkness and shine our light. Thanks so much for sharing my small voice on your wordpress and FB pages. It does me good to know I can shine my light beyond the 10 or so who visit me here.
