Delights of the Heart is about being positive
and noticing the small JOY's of life.
If this offends you, I am sorry;
but for me this was a positive, life affirming walk.
How else can I see it, for I was given the opportunity to walk
for the rights for all women around the world.
We came from every walk of life and gathered in peaceful
demonstration for what we believe in.
The day was rainy, but still close to 100,000 gathered
in Portland, Oregon to voice peacefully and with love.
And yes, some of us wore pink hats to make a point
and carried signs.
My sign came from the poem I quoted here not to long ago,
I Rise. On the other side it said Be the Light.
Many stood under that bridge for over an hour waiting to start.
I was thankful to be able to stay dry during that time.
And then it began.
When we came out from under the bridge and looked up
it was amazing to see how many stood above us too.

I was so impressed by those that walked.
We were surrounded by love and only good will.
They were everywhere.
One of the sights I walked past in downtown Portland.
In the back ground you can see the throngs and
behind me were as many as in front of me.
There were touches of pink everywhere you looked.
Men walked with their friends and partners.
Families and children walked.
Grandma's and grandpa's walked.
We all walked in one accord,
to make our world a better place.
And even this seal had something to say with his pink hat on.
Walking definitely takes us to different places
and many amazing sights.
Walking is part of my world now
and I will continue to walk.
