[Magdalen] Saturday Marches

[Marion Thompson]

I was watching before I had to leave for our new Area Bishop's 
installation.  The sight of the huge crowds in so many cities was moving 
in the extreme.  All that positive energy!  Wow!  It brought me to 
tears.  We can move worlds, and surely we will!

And this jerk simply can't see any of it.  He is a terrible misfortune 
set loose on our world, crass, self-absorbed, Jingoistic, narcissistic, 
and a whole lexicon of similar words.

Marion, a pilgrim
