Tucson -- A Ribbon at the Office

Yesterday, after thinking of peace and justice outside the church where Judge Rolls was being waked, I drove to the office of Congresswoman Gifford. Here I tied a ribbon that I pulled from a Sun Dance tree on a medicine man's land in South Dakota. On the ribbon I wrote a note to one of the dead, Gifford's aide, Gabe Zimmerman...

I searched for you on how I should know who you are. I have found the others of Tucson and have caught a piece of their lives and so today I wanted to hang this ribbon at a temple that you attended but the message I left w...ent unreturned. ...It is here then that the ribbon must be tied in your remembrance, the place that represents the United States Government. If the Spirits want it to be this way then so it is. I am now returning from the funeral of Justice Rolls and with justice I guess it is fitting that the ribbon is now placed here as I question the powers of the courts and government – peace and justice. And in the end as I write this message to you on a piece of cloth pulled from a Sun Dance tree … I pray that you do find your cherishment in the return or greeting of your ancestors and I pray that you will all not rest but help us to figure our problems out. Sacred Mystery help us all. We are all related.
