we went to the thalidomide tree sculpture and pinned a free palestine poster on it, then looked for mister's little found ball charlie and i lost. lulu found a dirty tennis ball, and we went to the quads. i don't usually bring lu there as she gets too excited but i wanted to see what was happening. there was a rally for palestine, some passionate speakers, and people sitting around making art of solidarity on the grass. no blindfolded teddy bears. israel was peripheral, evidence of things unseen. i expect the poster will already be gone, but every lost thing has an echo.

now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. for by it the elders obtained a good testimony. by faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of god, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
