"or for love?"

Questions to Ponder with your friends and/or family:

1.  If you look at the whole picture on what went down yesterday in Boston on I-93, a handful of humans standing arms linked rippled around the world. I see this as direct action public art, some look at it and understand, some don't like it, others love it, but hopefully it wakes everyone up a bit.

The question is how has it rippled in your soul?
