At Artscape this weekend in my hometown of Baltimore with Lloyd and the stars of David Simon's HBO series, "The Wire." Outside the Lyric theater hundreds waited in line in record temperatures. Inside-standing room only with speakers including Freddie Gray's step-father. Streets outside were packed for blocks and blocks with people of all ages, colors and sizes. 
What a happy, peaceful, hopeful scene. 
We saw about a dozen others we know from Howard County.  Baltimore is such a strong and clear example of the weakness in economic and social justice.  There are so many possibilities for love to show up.  Those of us living in wealthier counties in the area must spread our boundaries of compassion and concern beyond our own county or city lines.
