(Community Matters) While in O’Hare waiting on a connecting flight, I watched coverage of OCW and today’s march on NYSE. It’s horrific that so many are putting a bad spin on the protesters. I’m not saying all are right, nor that some aren’t hangers-oners . . . . but most we met are thoughtful, respectful and democratically airing real grievances. Feels as if because these grievances are against the richest and most powerful industry, protesters are being sprayed, arrested, manhandled and otherwise disrespected. I haven’t heard any corroboration of the rumor that Homeland Security has been involved in coordinating moves against protesters around the country – I’d be devastatingly disappointed in the leadership if this were true.

Love big West Texas skies, the unimpeded horizons of the coasts, Austin and my husband, the Rev. Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 24 years – nineteen years since we were married on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Then, married again at St. James Episcopal Church in Austin, TX on June 27, 2015.
