Blue sky meets blue sea
Kiss of snow topped mountains
Love, home, new life starts.
Today is the birthday of Brian C. Payne, my husband, and illustrator of these 52 haikus. He began this project last year, to produce a weekly mini-comic using one of my haikus as the dialogue. So, I applaud this accomplishment and look forward to his new project for this next year.
To make this week’s last mini-comic follow the instructions below.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR VERY OWN ZCW MINI-COMIC from Brian Payne, artist
1.) Download the image to your computer desktop. 2.) Set your printer to the fill entire paper/borderless setting and use the landscape format to print it on a piece of 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper (preferably colored.) 3.) Watch the tutorial I found on YouTube (see link below,) make sure your folds are straight, all the corners are even, and be extra careful with your cut. Enjoy! How to make a little book

Joint Declaration by International Law Experts on Israel’s Gaza Offensive
Posted on July 29, 2014 1 Comment
This is the strongest, clearest statement of what is happening in Gaza and what must be done. It is worth the read.
(Prefatory Note: Posted here is a Joint Declaration of international law experts from around the world who are listed below as endorsers. I am among the endorsers, and the text was initially drafted by several international law scholars. We welcome additional signatures that can be sent to me in the comments section, with affiliation noted for identification, and names will be periodically added to the text. I view this as an important expression of professional judgment and individual conscience relating to Israeli behavior in Gaza commencing on 8 July that has already taken so many innocent lives and caused such widespread devastation. Please join us and spread the word!)

This is a statement from a nun and two others who are in prison for attempting to bring to public consciousness the US governments continuing production of nuclear weapons. The letter is long but well worth the read.
OPEN LETTER FROM THE BROOKLYN METROPOLITAN DETENTION CENTER
from Sr. Megan Rice, on behalf of the Transform Now Plowshares
July 28, 2014
Our Dear Sisters and Brothers,
We send warm greetings and many thanks to all who actively engage in the transformation of weapons of mass destruction to sustainable life-giving alternatives. Gregory Boertje-Obed (U.S. Penitentiary, Leavenworth, Kansas) Michael Walli (Federal Correctional Institution McKean, Bradford, Pennsylvania) and I are sending you some of our observations and concerns on the 2nd anniversary of our Transform Now Plowshares action.
On July 28, 2012, after thorough study of nuclear issues, and because of our deepening commitment to nonviolence, we engaged in direct action by cutting through four fences at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where the U.S. continues to overhaul and upgrade thermonuclear warheads.
On that day, two years ago, when we reached the building where all U.S. highly-enriched (bomb-grade)…
