Hey Ted. Have fun. I'm doing one tomorrow too, for 100 or so First Nations youth and peace will be a big part of the agenda. In Vancouver we have just had some terrible swarming incidents, where a large group of Aboriginal girls has been beating up innocent white folks, so the tensions are a little high in the community right now. Everyone knows who they are and what the issues are and the call is for PEACE all round.
Today is National Aboriginal Day in Canada, coinciding with the summer solstice up north here. Tomorrow's OST was organized by a bunch of youth who have done all this before. They choose an elegant theme for the day: "Sweet Space." That's it. Nothing fancy. But they want youth to talk about what it means to make sweet space, create it and hold it and make living in the city as sweet an experience as possible. I love that peace underlies all this, but the point of tomorrow is spreading the sweetness, making things sweet. The word itself is au courant right now meaning "cool, okay, fine, according to plan, effort without sweat, living with ease" and so on. So have a good time practicing peace down there in Chitown and I'll think of you while we're doing the same up here.
