america, the confused
on september 12th or 13th, i believe, of 2001, ralph, dan, and i went to union square park and created an american flag on the pavement using red, white, and blue tealights (for some reason, ralph’s dad had boxes full of tealights in the house for no reason). it was really cool…people had been gathering in the park, talking, praying, crying…there were even drum circles. as we were lighting all the candles, people slowly and continuously gathered around us, helping us light and re-lighting every time one went out. at one point, a circle formed around the flag. people held hands and sang gospel songs and spirituals. it was moving.
strangely, a picture of our flag popped up in the times a few days ago. crazy, huh?

Did you just happen to notice that or did Bavosi bring it to your attention? I did a few image searches and there are a few other pictures of the candle flag floating around as well.
