Day After Memorial Day Meditation

"... I began to think about all the people who had been silenced during my lifetime and throughout history but who had found ways to speak without words."

While Remembering all those who have died in war and its aftermath throughout history, Bob Dylan's song came to my mind:

"... Let me (us -- am's translation) walk down the highway with my brother (our brothers and sisters -- am's translation) in peace ..." (Bob Dylan lyric)

Calendar Series: 60th Month / Imaginary Brothers with Open Hearts (1990)

Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood
Let the smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood
Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves
Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground

Go out in your country where the land meets the sun
See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run
Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
Let every state in this union seep down deep in your souls
And you'll die in your footsteps
Before you go down under the ground

(from "Let Me Die In My Footsteps," Bob Dylan, 1963)
