Peace Monument/Memorial...

[John]

that sounds good maybe someone will take a picture soon

Major parts are in place. (We hope to have some pictures later this week.)

The monument for victims of government violence located at Peaceful Assembly Church (organized in Grafton, NH) is taking shape.
Today, James R. and I placed the main stone and 4 posts into position.
We are looking at 1:00pm on the 1st Sunday in July as the dedication time.

Coincidentally, the 1st Sunday in July is also the anniversary of our Peaceful Assembly Church doors opening to all Peaceful people.
At our regular Sunday meeting (11:00am), we will celebrate having consistently been open for spiritual development for 2 full years.

Fun side note:
Since there are, yet, no names on the monument, we are temporarily calling it "the memorial to all those who have died from smoking weed." Zero people.

We've meaning
Convening
   Our Peaceful Assembly:
      By voicing
      Rejoicing
                  Of lives lived unbound,
            In hopes realizing
            Some kindred harmonizing
                  Might waft across the world in the wake of our sound.

   We need a m-
   eet freedom
      To craft our decisions,
         Abiding
         And guiding
                     Our learning and love.
               When consequence-driven,
               Devotion is a given—
                     A head must be unbowed to turn toward light above.

      Descanted,
      Not granted
         By mere constitutions,
            The praises
            Song raises
                        Buoy heart and fuel mind—
                  And if we inspire
                  The people of the Shire,
                        The joy within our hearts may spread through humankind.

So you're adding names to the headstone, or individual rocks?  How would it work if I wanted to give you a name?
